Botnets are Pervasive and Dangerous

Among virus and malware protection efforts, bot security can be the most challenging. Bots are autonomous applications that gain access to your network and can stay hidden for weeks. They can invade any OS, including Windows antivirus solution and malware protection used by most companies may not detect them. Once they ‘phone home’ to command and control outside your network, they join together with other computers to form botnets. These hijacked computers are called zombies and most traditional malware protection solutions are ineffective against them. An efficient antivirus solution is the best answer when it comes to botnet protection and malware removal.

Botnets invasions can have serious consequences including:

• Financial loss from non-compliance fines or litigation
• Damage to e-reputation from phishing sites or proxy nets not blocked by other malware detection and virus protection solutions
• The hassle and cost of having to take virus and malware protection measures in the case of click fraud, DDoS and SPAM
• The cost of procuring and implementing multiple malware detection and virus protection solutions to detect or prevent compromised endpoints as recommended by many IT security vendors
• The costs associated with acquiring expensive startup malware detection and virus protection appliances
