Video: Q&A with Richard Archdeacon, Symantec
By Stephen Pritchard,
Each year the threat posed to computer users by viruses, spam and malware seems to grow. But the threat is also becoming more complex.

IT PRO talked to Archdeacon about why the threats are increasing, and how businesses can protect themselves.
