Viruses

What is a Virus? There are different types of Computer viruses, just to name a few: Trojan Horse, Worms, Bootsecter, Root kit, and many more. They are small coded programs designed to infiltrate the Computer and to  spread rapidly from one to the other, infecting all the Computers on the Network.

How  the Viruses get in and what they do? Many of us have from time to time experienced the agony and distress overcoming the disastrous effects of a Computer virus. The virus plants itself in the Computer via email messages as an attachment, and instant messaging messages. It is also brought in when downloading illegitimate software which in most cases contain hidden viruses.  

A computer virus might corrupt or delete data on the computer, or even erase everything on the hard disk. It also  spreads to other computers in the Local network Area and causes irrecoverable damage. 

In order to keep the viruses at bay, it is important that no email messages attachment are opened unless  they are legitimate,  no illicit software downloaded, and a robust total Internet security program installed and kept current with the latest updates.  

Please be informed that Viruses can be disguised as attachments in funny images, in greeting cards, or even in audio and video files. 

Keep your Computer tuned up at least once a month and make sure your Operating System and Internet Security Program  are kept current with the latest updates in order that you may have a peaceful mind.
