Antivirus and Malware Protection

Modern antivirus and anti-malware protection, managed and monitored by HTL.

Antivirus and Malware Protection That Fits Your Business

Modern threats aren’t just simple viruses any more. Ransomware, trojans, malicious attachments and poisoned links all target busy users who just need to get their work done. Our antivirus and malware protection is designed for small and mid-sized businesses in London, combining proven tools with sensible policies and monitoring so you’re protected without getting in the way of everyday work.

Antivirus is still a key part of your cyber defences – but it has to be set up, managed and supported properly. We combine proven tools with good processes and user awareness so you’re better protected against viruses, malware and ransomware.

We deploy and manage protection across servers, desktops, laptops and remote workers, whether your systems are on-premise, in private cloud or in platforms such as Microsoft 365. Alerts feed into our service desk so suspicious activity is investigated quickly, and we align settings with your wider Cyber Security Services, Backup & Disaster Recovery and IT Service Continuity plans.

This gives you antivirus and anti-malware protection that’s tailored to your environment rather than a one-size-fits-all install-and-forget package.

Why Managed Antivirus Beats ‘Set and Forget’

Many organisations install antivirus once and then barely touch it. We actively monitor, update and tune your protection so it keeps pace with changing threats, new devices and new ways of working.

Frequently Asked Questions

Isn’t the built-in antivirus in our operating system enough?

Built-in tools are a good start, but businesses usually need more – central management, better reporting, policy control and integration with backup and response processes. We choose and configure solutions to match your risk profile and environment.

Modern antivirus tools update signatures and threat intelligence very frequently, often multiple times a day. We make sure your endpoints are receiving updates correctly and highlight any devices that fall behind.

No single tool can offer complete protection. Antivirus reduces the risk, but you also need Updates & Patching, Web Content Filtering, user awareness training and strong Backup & Disaster Recovery to recover quickly if an attack succeeds.

Sensibly configured products should have minimal impact on performance. If users notice slowdowns, we can review scan schedules, exclusions and policies to find a better balance between performance and protection.

Detected threats are logged, quarantined or blocked, and alerts are raised to our team. We then investigate the incident, confirm the threat has been removed and recommend any further actions, such as password resets or additional scans.
