Virus' and computer worms come in many forms and new ones are being unleashed across the World Wide Web on a regular basis. Unlike trojans, virus' and worms can self reproduce and spread themselves. Certain variants can even access your email address book and send themselves, from you, to all of your contacts. Some variants are extremely destructive and will cause irreplaceable data loss or complete and costly system failure.

The most effective way to deal with these threats is prevention. This includes keeping your operating system and critical programs up to date and patched and running effective anti virus software that is also up to date. Common sense also goes a long way. Do not open obvious spam, email with attachments unless you are expecting them and avoid visiting "unsavory" web sites. Use your up to date anti virus software at least one a week to scan your computer. Also use your anti virus software to scan floppy disks and CDs you receive from others. While they most likely won't try to infect you knowingly, if they run infected computers their virus' can be passed on using these mediums. It is also wise to scan newly downloaded programs and music prior to installing or executing them for the first time. Doing regular hard drive back ups is highly recommended. Having back ups will save time and money should your computer become infected.

In spite of the fact that you may have taken all the proper precautions to protect your computer and valuable data you can still become infected.
