[dba-Tech] Security measures

I just checked and according to help, Norton AV is set to check every 4
hours if "automatically update definitions" is set.  I see no place to
adjust the time interval.

I have a small remark on the AVG update (I supose you mean the Anti
Virus update)...

Every 3 days is not suffcient...
Every hour is more likely the best schedule today.

Remember that "I love you" and all those other new virus went around the
world in 24 hours...
So if you only update once every tree days, and you just had your update
when the new virus comes in, you have bad luck.

Every 3 days is really not enough, once a day could be suffciant but I
install all virusscanners at customers at every hour!!!

Ofcourse Mcafee brings out minimal 1 update per week, unless big problem
virus come up, 2 or 3 updates a week are not that uncommon.

Take my worth, every hour is a necesaty.

Not really.  I do regular windows updates, and the AVG update is on
automatic for every 3 days.  I do backups and ghosts every once in a
while just incase, though.

Mark,

This is just the kind of thing I've been looking for. Thank you.

Do you do anything special to keep up-to-date on Internet and PC
security? Or are you now so well protected that nothing fazes you
anymore?
