Why InoculateIT Anti-Virus Protection?

As IT consultants, we are the first to admit that there are very few "immutable laws" in the computing business. There are almost always a variety of products or approaches to every situation, that can all work with varying degrees of investment and results. And most eventualities are expressed only in probabilities, not certainties.

InoculateIT Tips

We have discovered only one exception to this:

InoculateIT from Computer Associates is the only Anti-Virus protection businesses should consider!

InoculateIT uses a variety of techniques for detecting computer viruses.

  • Integrity Checking - Determines if a program's file size has increased due to a virus attaching itself. This method is used primarily to check the integrity of the Critical Disk Area information.


  • Rules-based Polymorphic Detection - Observes the actions of programs such as Call functions, to detect suspicious program behavior.


  • Interrupt Monitoring - Observes all program system calls in an attempt to stop the sequence of calls, which could indicate virus actions.


  • Signature Scanning - Looks for a unique set of hexadecimal code, the virus signature, which a virus leaves within an infected file. By searching the program files, and armed with these codes, the signature scanner can detect known viruses.

    • InoculateIT Simplifies Management of Anti-Virus software across the organization.

    InoculateIT allows you to administer your entire network from a single admin console!

  • Banish sneaker-wear - No more running around from machine to machine, checking individual users' signature files and settings.


  • Eases administration - A multi-tiered, hierarchical architecture provides the tools to manage a globally distributed solution with ease. Drag-and-drop policy deployment easily configures client settings across the entire enterprise.


  • Enforces security policies - Client configurations can be locked down, averting dangerous gaps in your organization's Anti-Virus protection.

    • Still Need More Reasons to upgrade to InoculateIT?

    Can your Anti-Virus software do all of this?

  • Automatic, Centralized Virus Signature Updates - To protect against the onslaught of new viruses, InoculateIT automatically downloads virus signature updates from the Internet, and distributes these files to InoculateIT clients. InoculateIT is continually updated when new threats are discovered, sometimes more than once a day. Incremental signature updates limit the impact to vital networks.


  • Automatic FTP Alternate Downloads - If, for some reason, the client cannot connect to the server, InoculateIT automatically switches to ftp download directly from CA. Roaming users are similarly protected when undocked from the main office.


  • Virus Quarantine - InoculateIT can be configured to automatically isolate users who attempt to move, copy, or save infected files over the network.


  • Centralized Event Logging and Alerting - A centralized log of all virus events, including files checked, viruses found, and responses taken, makes administration simple! The InoculateIT Alert Manager notifies administrators of all critical virus incidents from any server in the environment.


  • Notification - Can be by Microsoft Mail, alphanumeric and numeric pagers, Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Trouble Tickets (print queue), and network broadcast messages are all available. Messages with different levels of alert (status, warning, and error) can be sent. An individual or groups of people in different segments of the network can be notified.

    Best of All, InoculateIT is "Almost Free"!

    Computer Associates currently has a special "Competitive Upgrade" program which works out to only $10 per machine per year!

    • Special Offer - InoculateIT pricing is "per node", at $20 per license with 2-year upgrade protection. This includes a free Admin Console, and lifetime virus updates.


    • Regular Pricing - Without Competitive Upgrade, InoculateIT is priced at $35 per node per year, and the Admin Console costs $295.
