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.
