Tags:
security management

Overview While the UC-San Diego medical center did have a comprehensive security policy, including enterprise class antivirus and content filtering solutions, the medical center IT staff began to notice decreased performance and an increasing number of pop-up ads on medical center workstations. IT staff soon realized that despite its efforts and existing security policy, there was a more serious malware problem that needed to be addressed. After a successful installation at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), Webroot Spy Sweeper enterprise made the short list of anti-spyware products to be tested. Other products selected included Microsoft Windows defender, Sunbelt CounterSpy and PC Tools' Spyware Doctor.
