Network Antivirus Software

Network antivirus software is probably the most important type of antivirus (AV) software there is because it is designed to protect more than one computer at a time.

Network antivirus software could be protecting all the computers in an office for example. Therefore, network antivirus software tends to be a lot more expensive, because it has to handle so many potential threats in real time.

Yes, every protection suite has to work in real time too, but it usually is only dealing with one input source at a time for one user at a time, who can afford to wait a second or two, while the AV software catches up.

A company with a hundred network operators would not be so willing to have all its workers waiting for the log-jam to clear in its server's network antivirus software. The resulting downtime would be too expensive.

A simple network is set up roughly as follows: the data comes into the building via a satellite or cable link; it then passes through a firewall, which filters out a lot of the general rubbish that everyone gets when they are connected to the Internet and it keeps most amateur hackers out too; then the data passes through the network antivirus software.

This final filtration is meant to block all the viruses, trojans, worms, malware, spam and other infections from attacking the system.

Two of the biggest providers of network antivirus software security solutions are: Microsoft Windows and Trend Micro. Business edition trial downloads of these network security management suites are usually available as a complete package for a limited time.
