Click, click, click…” • Stan from Accounting| December 2010 Click…Click…Boom!
Time for a Paradigm Shift “The Web is the primary source of malware infection.” “A new approach to end-point security is needed.” “The better approach is a protective layer that complements existing anti-virus solutions and that never allows those threats to enter the PC environment in the first place.”
