Corporate-wide Anti-Virus Solutions Computer-borne viruses have the potential to cause a great deal of downtime and loss of productivity. And with today's new blended threats, virus protection is an essential element of every network. Our consultants can help you choose and implement virus protection software that gives you the best chance at catching viruses before they enter your network environment. A computer virus is a program - a piece of executable code - that has the unique ability to replicate. Like biological viruses, computer viruses can spread quickly and are often difficult to eradicate. They can attach themselves to just about any type of file and are spread as files that are copied and sent from individual to individual. Besides replication, some computer viruses have something else in common: a damage routine that can deliver the virus payload. While payloads may only display messages or images, they can also destroy files, reformat your hard drive, or cause other kinds of damage. If the virus doesn't contain a damage routine, it can still cause trouble by taking up storage space and memory, and downgrading the overall performance of your computer.  At ZAD Computer Services we recommend and deploy Symantec Corporate Anti-virus, Panda Corporate Titanium or  TrendMIco Corporate depending on your needs.

Reliable Backup Solutions The cost of data loss for an organization far exceeds that of any kind of down time.  A reliable back up solution should be more than just the process of copying files to tape.  It should also involve a periodic test of the restoration process under different Disaster scenarios. At ZAD Computer Services we maintain and implement various back-up solutions, however, we recommend Veritas Backup-exec.
