To keep the your IT infrastructure completely secure from virus attacks it is very important to not only keep Anti Virus DAT files up to date but to also keep Microsoft Windows up to date with the latest security updates and patches.  Just having up to date anti virus software on a desktop is still not good enough to keep you safe from viruses.  Now a day’s viruses are written to attack on computers that have loop holes and back doors found within the Microsoft operating system.  By making sure that computers are up to date with patches this will create a very good protection system from any viruses in the future.  Windows server update services (WSUS) is a tool from Microsoft that allows an IT administrator to update all the computers and servers within a Microsoft Domain.  It also allows an administrator to only allow certain patches to be installed on certain computers depending on compatibly issues with certain third party software installed on computers which makes automation much easier.

The tool works by having a dedicated server installed as a WSUS server and have each computer talk to the WSUS and check for any new security patches that may need to be installed.  The WSUS regularly checks Microsoft for any new updates and then pushes these updates out to desktops and servers.
