Users deserve protection not blame for email virus propagation!

Feedback from this weeks RSA Security conference in San Francisco sees the industry passing the blame for infection and propagation of these viruses onto the users who are "to thick to cope with viruses". Email security specialists avecho.com believe that these accusations are outrageous and simply a smoke screen put up by the AV vendors who are failing in their duty to provide the protection that their customers are paying for.

(PRWEB) February 28, 2004 --The recent MyDoom, Novarg and Netsky viruses have wreaked havoc to computer systems world wide.

Feedback from this weeks RSA Security conference in San Francisco sees the industry passing the blame for infection and propagation of these viruses onto the users who are "to thick to cope with viruses".

Email security specialists avecho.com believe that these accusations are outrageous and simply a smoke screen put up by the AV vendors who are failing in their duty to provide the protection that their customers are paying for.

Security companies should be providing fool-proof systems to combat these issues, users are human and therefore fallible. Anti-virus products should be robust and protect the user by giving them the confidence of not having to worry whether they have opened a dangerous email by mistake.

Nick Scales, CEO of avecho.com said, 'None of our customers will receive or send MyDoom, Novarg or any other virus, worm, Trojan or exploit. There seems to be a new virus scare every week but we provide a complete worry free email service that includes protection from all malware.'

'You can't blame people for opening their emails, or expect IT administrators to keep downloading patches. The way to address this issue is to stop the emails before they enter the system.'

avecho.com has protected all of its customers from all of the latest viruses. The emails have been stopped by ThreatCENSOR which prevents all exploits, viruses, worms and Trojans from penetrating a company's email system.
