Computer users need to be aware that Internet, Intranets, email, shared disks and shared PCs provide the means for viruses to spread. Computers and networks must be protected to ensure system reliability and data integrity. Zondex Guard is built to high performance specifications that meet the needs of enterprises and individual users requiring robust protection. Groups of viruses share common protocols. Zondex Guard utilizes a common protocol recognition system that identifies and remembers malicious groups.
Signature recognition is used as an additional resource.
If a new unknown virus is a member of a known group, the Zondex Guard common protocol system will recognise it without the prior need of an individual signature. This hybrid approach to virus detection is very fast and highly effective. Each time a user is connected to the Internet Zondex Guard checks and updates its signature files automatically without the need for user intervention. While many anti-virus products require weekly and, in some cases, daily signature file updates, Zondex Guard requires less frequent updates. This added benefit is achieved through the combination of common protocol recognition and signature file methodology.
