Prevent virus infections

The SecureSmart CleanMachines virus-and-worm prevention system prevents the spread of viruses from mobile devices that log onto multiple networks by intelligently blocking vulnerable machines from accessing the network until they are verified as virus-free. The product is deployed centrally in a network and maintains a "clean list" of virus-free devices. Any machine absent From the list is redirected to a quarantine area prior to authentication. In the quarantine area, users install the necessary security patches, and the software restores that device to the clean list. Administrators can also exempt from this process specific machines known to be clean through other means.--Perfigo
