Virus Protection

Trace Services software's anti virus procedures are based upon the wider requirement to protect our client masters from any unauthorised "change and modification" while in our care.

In order to achieve this we 'Write Protect' masters as they arrive on the premises and do not 'load', 'run' or 'execute' any programs or data files from client duplication masters. ( Write protecting a disk prevents infection / modification ).

During the duplication process we compare copies against the master to ensure they are the same, and prior to despatch we conduct a virus check on a sample from the duplicated batch (PC disks and CDs only).

While we make every effort to ensure we do not 'infect' client disks, or ship duplicated disks with viruses, we do advise clients to satisfy themselves that disks are virus free prior to onward shipment or internal use. Due to the ever changing nature of viruses, we can not guarantee absolutely that disks are virus free.


Quality

We especially recommend that clients distributing disks and CDs in Macintosh format conduct their own virus checks prior to use. Mac viruses are becoming more prevalent.

We make every effort point of salesible to ensure the quality, integrity, and performance of all disks & CDs duplicated by us.

Only high quality media is used, and not only are quality controls applied at each stage of our duplication procedures, but a high proportion of completed disks are sampled and tested at the end of the duplication run.

For these reasons we have every confidence that the disks and CDs supplied to you are of high performance and fault free.

However, because the performance of software and disks or CDs is a function of the interplay between the two; the machine they are applied to; and to the operator, we cannot accept responsibility for the performance of disks once they have been onwardly sold from yourselves.

It is incumbent upon you as our client therefore to satisfy yourselves before onward shipment that your own standards have been met.

If there is ANY quality shortfall, please contact us immediately and steps will be put in hand forthwith to ensure you get what you have paid for, and we have promised.
