Staff scheduling for Agencies

Security is in all our interests - except for the bad guys out there. Bad guys use weak security where they find it to install viruses or bots which are programs that hi-jack computers so that rather than doing what you want (and paid for), your computer spends time attacking other computers. As long as each infection finds (on average) more than one other infect-able computer before it is cleaned by up-to-date antivirus software, the infection will never die out.  Often these infections or bots are used to test passwords to see if they can get into an otherwise protected system. The following article is to a reasonably non technical Microsoft document on what not to use as a password.

As a matter of course, Ava (Agency software) will advise all our customers if we find inappropriate password settings.
