Support :: Downloads :: Virus Patches
Over the last few years the proliferation of computer viruses over the
Internet has hit high-gear. The number of new viruses and virus-strains
released daily is staggering. At the moment Network Associates' McAfee AVERT
Virus Information Library contains a list of over 81,000 virus threats that
exist today. Although new and sophisticated tools are being developed to
combat against these virus incursions, the battle seems destined to be a
never-ending one. Virus programmers always seem to stay just one step ahead
of the defense, and with the widespread availability of virus-creation kits,
even non-technical people can create viruses to terrorise the public domain.
It has become imperative that you protect your machine with some form of
Virus Protection Package, especially if you are connected to the Internet.
This section of the Commerce I.T. website hosts some patches for viruses
that have struck the UCT network in the past and are still present on the
network today. Simply download the patch and follow the installation
instructions to ensure that you are protected.
Remember, it is always better to be safe than sorry. If you receive an
email with a suspicious attachment or download a dubious file, do not open
it! The Internet is no longer a friendly place.
