Guide to Protecting Your Business from Computer Viruses

How to make sure your PCs don't fall victim to a virus


Small biz owners — especially those with growing data stockpiles — are feeling the heat of looming disaster. It can strike from a growing list of sources, including viruses, worms, spam, spyware and phishing. Entrepreneurs now rank computer security among the most crucial survival and growth issues they face. "Any small business that's not worried about computer security isn't paying attention," says Kevin Gilroy, head of HP's small business division.

One reason: Business owners rely more and more on technology all the time, from PCs and servers, to laptops, local networks, wireless devices and broadband Web connections. These have aided productivity, but raised vulnerability.

Data damage or disappearance caused by computer viruses and related ailments can doom your domain. Too many small businesses install protection only after they've suffered a loss. Being proactive now can save your assets later on. Even if you lack formal IT backing like most small businesses, there are many solutions and precautions you can implement solo, such as:
  1. Install antivirus software on all desktops, laptops and servers.
  2. Use a firewall on all desktops, laptops and servers to block intruders.
  3. Keep current with operating system and security software updates to ensure you have the latest protection.
  4. Create strong passwords with at least eight characters combining alphanumeric and special characters. Change passwords from time to time.
  5. Open email responsibly. Never open attachments from unknown senders and do not respond to spam. Email containing junk ads can carry viruses.


Action Steps

The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Secure your computers with anti-virus software Symantec and McAfee are terrific small business resources for computer security products, services and information.

I recommend:  Symantec has many anti-virus software products for small business. Solutions include basic anti-virus, anti-virus for handhelds, anti-virus for Macintosh and a multi-user pack. Also get a free virus scan, browse articles on computer security, upgrade anti-virus products and sign up for Webcasts. Archrival McAfee also offers a full line of computer security software and services for small business and home office. McAfee Total Protection for Small Business is an all-in-one service that blocks viruses, spyware, spam, phishing, hacker attacks and identity thieves from desktop PCs, servers and email.

Manage anti-virus security updates with Microsoft and HP Both computer giants offer a wide range of computer security solutions.

I recommend:  Microsoft offers security info and software at its Web site. Download Microsoft Office security updates.Take a quick (20-30 minute) online security training course. Sign up to receive the Microsoft Security Updates. HP has several solutions that can help you manage anti-virus security across your entire business.

Raise your computer security I.Q. The National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) is an organization dedicated to raising Internet security awareness.

I recommend:  The small business section of Stay Safe Online (their Web site) offers security tips on safeguarding your systems as well as a self-guided security test, educational materials and other handy resources.

Use an outside service to secure your email Hosted email services help many businesses eliminate email security threats.

I recommend:  Webmail.us offers small business e-mail services (using your own domain name) with built-in spam filtering and virus protection. Their "no software-no hardware" approach is designed to maintain your entire e-mail system so you can concentrate on other matters.

Discover niche anti-virus software providers You don't have to limit your search to the big names.

I recommend:  Norman (not to be confused with Norton, from Symantec) offers a full line of software for virus, Internet, spam, e-mail and download control. Other options include: Sophos, Panda Software, MicroWorld and Computer Associates.

Tips & Tactics

Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
  • Teach employees to safely use email. The first rule of thumb is never open suspicious or unsolicited attachments. Avoid responding in any way to spam, especially links that claim you will be removed from the spammer's list.
  • Don't let employees use peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing Web sites and applications.
  • Warn employees about the dangers of downloading applications from unknown sites.
  • Keep all operating systems, software and security measures up to date. Older versions are more vulnerable.
  • Install a 'firewall' to block incoming traffic that is not needed for your business.
  • If you discover a PC is infected, take it off your network (if you have one) so that fixes can be installed.
