I have the s/w tools/utilities and can remove most rouge A/V and spyware malware after-the-fact when it occurs on client machines, but what about preventing it in the first place. Especially for the small/home office user (who normally does not have firewall or filtering at the gateway, etc… other than maybe NAT, which offers some protection…
I am tired of removing spyware/rouge A/V, malware on the same machines over and over. Although, on the plus side, each time I do this, I make $$$.
I guess it is more of a pet-peeve of mine, and I want to know how to get the upperhand and be pro-active instead of re-active against the plethora of Rouge AV/Malware……
Any recommendations on sure-fire programs and or h/w appliances for the lower-end user for prevention?
I am experimenting with Untangle, and other open source s/w and h/w appliances, on my own network etc…
Also, I think alot of it comes down to SMART Surfing, knowing what to click or not click on. But the average user, does not understand this concept.
Thanks.
