The network administrator an a company ran a normal web activity
report of all the enterprise's users and found that the
employees were logging thousands of hits per day on a single
site that had nothing to do with the business. What was found
was not that the employees were slacking while at work, rather
the network was infected with spyware that was tracking the
surfers' activity then sending the information back to the web
site for a third part to review and use, all without the
employees' knowledge.
Spyware can and will slow a computer's bandwidth as well as
cause the network to gradual decrease its speed. Many companies
are beginning to worry about spyware because it has become so
easy to get and install into unknowing users' computers. Most
employees do not know that by clicking on a pop up or web site
or by downloading free files such as a screen saver they are
letting spyware into the system. There are numerous programs
available to find and delete these malicious spyware
applications. Taking preventative measures against spyware will
save networks much more time and money than if they wait to
remove the spyware after it is already installed and doing its
work. Users cannot think they are safe surfing the internet
without spyware protection. It is necessary for personal and
business network computers to find and use an anti-spyware
program that will not only scan for current infection but also
protect your computer while you are online.
The above mentioned business used Wavecrest's Cyfin monitoring
program to solve their problems and detect any unusual activity
occurring. Wavecrest includes a Cyblock filter so while
employees are online the software is protecting against future
spyware invasions. For more information on how Wavecrest's
security works visit their site at wavecrest.net.
