Virus Alert!! Make Sure You Are Protected!!

The Interconnect Group, Inc. Blog - Virus Removal Indiana

On the way home the other night, I was listening to the Clark Howard radio show on 93.1 WIBC. In his Rip Off Alert segment, he spoke of the Zeus Trojan Virus which has gotten a lot of news coverage of late. As a provider of Computer Support Indiana services to both business and consumer clients, I found the segment very interesting.

Putting the technical discussion aside for a moment, I was surprised to learn how the law provided protection to individual victims that got hijacked but did not afford the same protection to business owners who got hijacked. As Clark Howard put it, the law assumes that the business owner has a "shared responsibility to protect against the loss." I would recommend all business owners, entrepreneurs, and contractors to read the Clark Howard article.

From a technical perspective, it reinforces the importance for computer support Indianapolis clients to remain vigilant with respect to computer security. If you do not currently have Indianapolis IT Support resources maintaining your computer security, then at the very least make sure you and your employees are doing the following:

Religiously Maintain Software Security Updates and Patches
Maintain Antivirus Updates and Run Scans Often
Implement a Strong Password Policy Company Wide
Minimize Computers from which Banking Accounts are Accessed

Although we have not personally seen anyone affected with the Zeus Trojan Virus, we have seen an increase of more intrusive infections over the past few weeks come in to our virus removal Indiana facility located in Mooresville, Indiana. No matter if you are a business owner or an individual user, make sure you have a good Antivirus product installed and up to date on all of your computers.
