Computer Security
At the moment, your system is connected to a network,
where you are benefiting from productivity-enhancing information
access services. Sending and receiving emails, browsing the Internet
via web browsers, and downloading data or program files
are a few of the most common activities. Thes activities also expose
systems to malicious code threats like computer viruses and Trojans.
Viruses
Most viruses are harmless, but some of them do damage. The best way to deal with
them is to install anti-virus software on your computer, and keep it up to date.
Anti-virus software scans all new files (such as email attachments) and all documents
on any floppy disk that you insert into your computer. When a known virus is
detected, the software will generally be able to repair the infected document.
