The most common way for malicious software to enter your networks is through email messages. The abundance and variety of malware can create serious consequences resulting in zombies on your network, lost data, and locked up PCs.
iPrism Email Filter includes powerful antivirus protection that keeps debilitating malware away from your network.
There is a broad range of malware/viruses that target email as the delivery method of choice:
Worms use various systems to enter your network - IM and P2P for instance, but a common way is through email. Their primary aims are to penetrate your computers, launch copies of themselves and start spreading throughout your network.
Viruses don't have to use network resources to spread to other machines, unlike worms, but spread only if an infected object is accessed and the malicious code gets executed. A common way for this to happen is if a virus infects a user's machine via email and then sends a copy of itself to everyone in the users address book.
Trojan programs perform actions covertly - without the victim's knowledge. Trojans are often used to collect personal data about the victim which is then used for financial gain. Other Trojans are designed to destroy data or alter it for malicious purposes. Some criminals use Trojans to hijack computers and use them to send spam.
