Antivirus Software: What To Choose? Recently, an attack from a computer virus reduced the Internet to a crawl. Reportedly, there were no major losses but some inconveniences. For example, some bank customers could not access their accounts from ATM machines.
The attack hit Microsoft SQL servers, exploiting a vulnerability the software manufacturer had already prepared a defense patch for. The patch was available to all users, but not installed in time by the affected users.
Those affected had the information technology people in place to make repairs, get the patch in place, and eventually get things up and running again.
