As a nation of computer users, most of us have
been exposed to malicious codes - usually in the form of a virus
attacking our systems or those of co-workers and friends. The
International Computer Security Association has identified more than
90,000 viruses to date, and estimates 400 new virus codes are
created every month. Not a day goes by in which a new computer bug
isn't lurking in cyberspace.
If a virus has ever attacked your computer, you know how damaging it
can be. Viruses can change the contents of entire files or delete
them completely; send personal and financial information to
strangers; reformat your hard drive; and render your system
completely inoperable. Whatever malevolent task a virus is
programmed to execute, it is only compounded by the infuriating loss
of time it takes to identify and remove it from your system.
A virus is a computer program that lives in shared computer files
and has the ability to replicate itself, potentially spreading to
scores of other systems - most often via e-mail and usually within
minutes. Viruses can also be spread via downloaded Internet files, a
computer network at the office, or through files stored on shared
floppy disks.
So what's the best way to protect your system from computer viruses?
Keep your Anti-Virus programs up to date. Always scan your
computer or have it run scans during off hours (your PC must be
turned on) and avoid websites where these bugs come from.
Never open e-mail from people you don't know and avoid opening
e-mail with attachments unless you're expecting it. Most
Internet Services use programs to scan for viruses in every piece of
e-mail sent or received through their networks - as many as eight
million e-mails each day. Of those scanned, one percent are found to
be infected and are removed from the network.
