Comprehensive Consideration of nine problems and selection of suitable anti-malware

Users may feel more confused when they choose anti-malware products correctly. To effectively deal with malware, you have to search for the vast range of products. Anti-Virus Software, Anti-Spyware software, IDS (Intrusion Detection System), and other products that detect and block malicious code. How should we choose a wide range of users? In fact, you only need to consider the following issues when selecting a product. You may have the right choice.
What anti-malware products do we need?

Viruses, Trojans, worms, malicious emails, and spyware are the main types of malware. The products you need must be able to detect and block these threats. Some products bind several tools together to help enterprises effectively manage and deal with malware.

How does one know that a product does not conflict with other forms of anti-malware programs? Because you may choose a variety of security products, you certainly hope that these products can work well together. Before purchasing a product, you need to consult the vendor about the list of possible conflicts.

Can Windows Built-in anti-malware products provide effective protection?

Windows XP and earlier versions cannot provide effective protection. Windows Vista defender Anti-Spyware technology and its built-in security technology indeed improve the security performance of the operating system, but it cannot meet the security requirements of all customers.

Is the black/white list mechanism valid?

Similar to using the blacklist mechanism to block malicious programs, the white-name SLR malware technology works by allowing only approved applications to run. Many enterprises believe that using this mechanism can ensure system security. However, due to the defects of many products, attackers still exploit this mechanism.

Is the behavior detection tool effective?

The blocking monitoring function of some anti-malware products can effectively prevent the execution of Software containing malicious code. Once suspicious code is found, the program is blocked. Compared with the security technology that relies solely on virus database recognition, behavior detection technology is more intelligent and complex. This technology is significantly effective in dealing with 0-day attacks.

Can the smart analysis and management technology effectively deal with malware attacks?

Some security vendors use this technology, and Prevx is particularly outstanding in this regard. This technology is to use multiple computers to enhance the ability to collect viruses at the same time, so as to better deal with viruses. Every computer sends programs, whether malicious or unknown, to the central server for automatic analysis.

Do we need to deal with malware at the network or user level?

Required. As long as this technology does not increase network bandwidth consumption, reduce device performance or user productivity.

Do I need an access control program?

The access control program sends a warning when the user is preparing to run an unknown program, so that the user can give an early warning of malware infection. This capability makes access control programs effective in dealing with malware.

Do I need anti-virus software?

As more and more tools and technologies are available in the market, some observers claim that traditional anti-virus software will be eliminated. Obviously, this statement is exaggerated. In fact, anti-virus software is still effective. If we only treat it as a second-line defense technology, the cost-effectiveness of anti-virus software is still very competitive.

What is the most effective way to prevent malicious software from mistakenly killing normal IT programs?

Use a combination of anti-malware policies to provide security coverage. Install and use the firewall. Update your software patches in real time. Train employees and system users on computer security and correctness.

We believe that the above will be of great help to your enterprise computers.
