Making the Grade for Education
Antivirus software is not usually the first thing that springs to mind when considering the allocation of your ICT budget. After all, most LEA's provide an antivirus product extremely cheaply or even free-of-charge, why spend money you don't need to? Well, those of you who have experienced a widespread and damaging virus, malware or spyware outbreak in your school will be able to testify that not all antivirus products are created equal and not all LEA provided solutions are provided because they are the best and most effective on the market.
Virus outbreaks can have a terrible effect on a school with IT equipment out of action, teachers and students unable to work and fixes can take days to implement, preventing you and your pupils from teaching and learning.
Because of the impact viruses can have on educational establishments, Computeam always recommend having the best antivirus software installed on your systems. Software that will prevent these virus outbreaks before they start, won't slow your systems down whilst they are at work and won't drain your ICT budget unnecessarily.
This is why Computeam are proud to recommend ESET NOD32 Antivirus software to our education clients. Based on award-winning technology, NOD32 has a high rate of virus detection compared to it's competitors, helping to prevent infections before start. Many of our clients have moved away from their old antivirus software to NOD32 and have never looked back, why don't you take the opportunity to join them?

Case Study - Brighton College
Brighton College is one of England's leading independent co-educational schools for children aged 3 to 18. Situated in the heart of the city, the three schools that make up the College enjoy an enviable reputation for offering its students a challenging, yet rewarding education. Computers naturally play an important part of academic life within the College, but like any other organisation the machines also present a point of entry for malicious attack. With a large number of users, keeping track and making sure that nothing is accidentally let loose onto a computer or the network is a constant task as Wayne Govier, network manager of Brighton College explains:
"Obviously virus protection is extremely important to us. Children are very technology savvy, they bring in memory sticks and all other types of portable storage devices to plug into the machines. Their initial thoughts may not necessarily be for the integrity of the network and whether they might have accidentally brought in a piece of malicious software, so we need to ensure that our preventative measures are the best available."
