Hello to all,
May I ask my erudite colleagues a stupid question re virus scanners.
We have a file server at our clinic with 8 attached computers
running on
XP Pro.The server can access the Internet directly but we very rarely
use that machine for that purpose.
All the attached computers have virus scanners (Bitdefender)on them as
they receive email but we have never had a virus scanner for over
10 yrs
on the server.
Am I a complete idiot for not doing so?
I'm a bit worried if I put bitdefender on the server it would slow the
network down too much.
My apologies if I've been a dork for all these yrs!
If you don't use the net from the server you may be OK, but the best
practice advise is that any Windows computer needs protection. Why
not do a scan and see what's on there to answer your own question?
You can download a trial version of the best available A/V programme
from www.nod32.com.au - let us know what it picks up.
cheers,
Peter.
