Computers 'Sick' Should be Quarantined

The computer was infected with the virus should not be allowed to connect to the Internet and remain in quarantine until completely healthy. As stated by computer security researchers at Microsoft.

Not without reason, a team from Microsoft is certainly making recommendations to prevent virus spread to other computers. That is why, computer virus they think should be 'jail' of the Internet connection.

Corporate Vice President of Microsoft's Scott Charney in his blog wrote that virus computer just like a sick person who poetnsial transmit the disease. "When an unprotected computer virus, this would risk a threat to other computers," he wrote.

Nevertheless, as reported by the Guardian and quoted on Tuesday (10/12/2010), they were aware of such a step is too drastic. And the other thing is annoying is, who later that will make some kind of certification that a computer is healthy and may be re-surf?

It is shared by researchers from the internet and computer security firm Kaspersky Ram Herkanaidu. According to him, isolating virus computer from the internet is not the right solution.
 


"If the virus infected computer is not prohibited to access the internet, and how the computer to update anti-virus and other software patches?," he said.

Millions of computers around the world with Windows operating systems infected with viruses without the knowledge of its users. And not infrequently is often used to distribute billions of spam emails and carry out attacks to specific sites.
