问答题 Companies now realize that viruses aren’ t “urban myth” , and can have a serious impact on their operations. They invest in anti-virus software on the desktops, servers and email gateways and even put in place procedures to ensure their anti-virus is up-to-date with the very latest detection routines. It sounds like companies have put in place adequate defenses to protect against viruses. But have they? Anti-virus software must be updated regularly, preferably daily in any large company. Even then, a very new virus can infect your users. With the rapid transmission of files through networks and the Internet, a virus can spread a considerable distance before it can be identified and protected against. Fortunately, only a few viruses ever do this but the likes of Melissa and the Love Bug can inflict serious damage before their progress is stopped. While employees become suddenly aware during the ensuring media excitement, they soon forget about the virus threat as the stories disappear from the news headlines.无
【正确答案】各家公司现在都意识到病毒并不是“现代神话”,而确实会严重影响到公司的运作。他们投资杀毒软件,安装在计算机、服务器以及电子邮件网关上,甚至还采取措施确保使用最新的检查程序,随时更新杀毒软件。听起来好像各公司已经采取了充分的措施防范病毒。可事实真的如此吗?杀毒软件必须定期更新,大公司则最好是每天更新一次。即使是这样,新的病毒也还是可能感染用户。通过网络和互联网,文件可以快速地传输,等到人们发现一种病毒并加以防范时,病毒可能已经扩散到了相当的范围。好在只有少数几种病毒有这么大的破坏力,像梅利莎和爱虫病毒则是例外,人们还来不及制止,它们就已经造成了严重的破坏。然后媒体轰动,员工会突然警觉起来,但一旦新闻头条不再报道这些事件,他们就会很快将其抛之脑后。
