			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The newest virus to hit computers can really&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.computerservicesforlife.com/virus-alert-kneber-botnet/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-396" title="Virus Botnet" src="http://www.computerservicesforlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/virus-botnet.jpg" alt="virus botnet Virus alert   Kneber botnet" width="456" height="306" /></a></p>
<p>..catch you by surprise!</p>
<p>It&#8217;s called <strong>Kneber Botnet</strong> and here&#8217;s what it does&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-395"></span>&#8230;the virus, &#8220;gathers login credentials to online financial  systems, social networking sites and email systems from infested  computers and reports the information back to hackers&#8221; according to NetWitness,  the company who discovered the virus.</p>
<p>This virus comes from the botnet family of viruses. What&#8217;s this you might ask?</p>
<p>A botnet virus basically turns your computer into a &#8220;zombie&#8221; computer, and anytime it communicates with another computer it attempts to turn that computer into a &#8220;zombie&#8221; computer as well.</p>
<p>This is bad as the spreading of this virus is quick and it goes largely unnoticed by many users.</p>
<p>Sadly the conventional methods of protection against viruses maybe not be sufficient in dealing with this threat. The best way not to be taken advantage of is to be weary of what you type into computers and make sure you use your own personal computer for important matters.</p>
<p>Every virus company is going to be working on stopping this virus as soon as they can, and a few have updates already available.</p>
<p>Do you think that you might have a virus or need help removing one?</p>

<li>Communications &#8211; Is your network accessible in a power outage?</li>
<li>Other IT structures &#8211; Are your Vendors safe?</li>
</ul>
<p>These questions will help you detect any weakness in your plan, make appropriate corrections, and ensure that your have a proactive prevention plan in place when disasters strike. Your plan should encompass other non-IT related parts of your business too.</p>
<p>Here are a few to keep in mind:</p>

<li>Facilities Plan &#8211; If your office is uninhabitable? Can your clients find you?</li>
<li>Crisis Communication &#8211; How will you tell your clients that you are still open?</li>
