The World's leading case management software for lawyers Strategies in the fight against computer viruses by. I group anti-virus software with word processor, legal accounting software, deeds and documents safe custody databases and backup software as the most essential and useful of application software for lawyers.

Viruses propagate and spread, usually by stealth, through the use of computers.
Hoaxes are a related irritation. In a short time, e-mail mailboxes all over the world receive the warning about a virus which does not exist. I do not commend either approach. It seems to me that a more strategic approach would be to implement a series of measures which still gives the computer an adequate level of protection against viruses. The better programs protect computers against a greater number of viruses.
