Here are some FAQ's (frequently asked questions) concerning
viruses.
What is a computer virus?
A computer virus is a program designed
to spread itself by first infecting
executable files or the system areas of hard and floppy
disks and then
making copies of itself. Viruses usually operate without the knowledge
or
desire of the computer user.
How do people get viruses?
The most
common way viruses spread are through the use of attachments in emails. When
you open the attachment containing the virus it immediately spreads
throughout your computer. Another way virus's spread is through file
swaping programs such as Morpheus, Kazza, Grokster, ect...
These programs allow people to share files with other people. Some of the
files that are shared though can be viruses renamed to look like something
else you want.
How do i keep from
getting a virus?
The best way
to prevent from getting a virus is to use an anti-virus software such as
Norton Anti-Virus 2002.
Here at surfmore we use Norton Anti-Virus 2002
