From small accounting and insurance firms to large medical and manufacturing clients, CST has been dealing with, preventing, quarantining, rebuilding thousands of servers, desktops and notebooks simply because some clients had decided it wasn't a tangible benefit to their IT operations and couldn't justify costs. Sadly, some of these clients took major hits with this approach and saw their business operations completely shut down (not slowed or disrupted) where the costs of lost time, lost business, and lost data far exceeded any cost of implementing and maintaining server and desktop anti-virus solutions.

The plain truth is a) you will get email spam, b) you will get email spam that will contain viruses c) you will employ someone that will not think and open this email. From here, the choice is clear.

1. You can procure and deploy a cost-effective server and/or desktop based anti-virus solution that will immediately identify, quarentine, and delete new viruses and protect your network and systems integrity.
2. You can hope nothing happens and when it does, pray its not as bad as reported on CNN or MSNBC, only to watch how lethal and quickly they spread and corrupt.

The reason CST is very 'anti-virus' is because it is our job to make the best IT decisions on behalf of our clients and we've seen first hand how bad they can be. Although it is our business to provide IT services and we have performed more than our fair share of anti-virus sweeps/cleanup, they are for the most part preventable and we strongly recommend even after a new solution is in place to treat the updates just as if you were running a backup because there are new strains almost daily.
