Malware: How it could affect your business
Malware stands for "Malicious Software" and it infects or damages a computer system.
It covers all types of computer viruses, worms, trojan horses, most rootkits, spyware, dishonest adware, crimeware and other malicious and unwanted software.
This malware can appear anywhere and where you least expect it. It’s now the greatest risk factor when browsing websites and using email services.
The problem is you may not realise you machine is infected until it's too late. Your computers may become damaged or your data is corrupted beyond repair. Or worse.
A worst case scenario is identity thieves have stolen confidential data belonging to you and your clients. Not only would this cause disruption to your business but your reputation could also be at risk.
