A recent study of 300 companies is reported to have shown that the rate of virus infection increased some 48% over a one year period, despite the fact that the companies regularly used anti-virus software. The problem? While anti-virus (AV) software was installed, it was not kept up to date regularly.
On average, the survey showed more than 86 viruses per 1,000 computers with disks brought from home as being the most popular vector. (Computer Knowledge strongly recommends that any company AV contract allow installation on both company and home computers.) Second most common vector was the e-mail attachment. Macro viruses were the most common virus type.
So, again, keep your anti-virus software updated!
