Hi folks I am new to the group, here's my two cents worth, school's in
so expect an increase in the bad things happening to your computer.Its
a fact that most student who are into this sort of criminal activity
use their campus,colleges or high school computers to do their dirty
deeds..
I believe many of the problem we are facing today as a result of virus
and adware is as a result of poor protection and is only a tip of the
iceberg on what is happening to our computers.I don't mean to scare
you but most of the time many problems when they occur or first shoe
up, could be the manifestation of a larger problem on your computer.
Here's what I usually recommend doing, at a very early stage you
should run a virus scan with your latest updated anti virus software
and then a program that removes adware or malware. If after doing this
you still encounter the problems and things become more serious, its
time to seek even further for more serious options.I have a blog
dedicated to adware and virus removal suggestions and tips.If you feel
like checking it out feel free to do so.I recommend it, its at
http://ad-aware-tips.blogspot.com/.
Keeping your computer virus, spyware and adware free is a choice you
make every time your turn on or off your computer or surf the
internet. These bad guys on your computers can really make your use of
it a living hell. Done just stop using your computer or the internet
because of them because good should alway triumph over evil. |

Actually, since the problem is really ignorance, people not thinking
about what they've been told for at least the last 10 years, you can't
really solve it until it actually causes them PAIN.
People are generally lazy - they are not going to do anything until they
are forced to do it - once their laziness causes them money or pain they
will make an attempt to learn enough to protect their systems.

It's not laziness. Poor quality products with poor security are to blame. >> Stay informed about: Here we go again, more virus and spyware |

Do you lock your car, close the windows, put valuables out of sight in the trunk?
And your house?

Yes, I do. So did my father. And his father. And everyone else did, too.
Theives are and were a well-known threat. And doors and windows are a
well-known vulnerability. Those things have changed little over the
centuries.
But in the computer, the thieves are non-obvious. The threats are invisible.
The vulnerabilities are, for most, non-obvious. And everything changes year
by year. It's not easy for most people to learn it and keep up with it.
People don't get better, not even over a span of a thousand years.
So the products should be better. Sure, that's a hollow wish. But the fault
lies with lame equipment, not with lame people. >> Stay informed about: Here we go again, more virus and spyware |

But it's in the news regularly. I don't think I know anybody who hasn't either had or known
somebody who had trouble with malware. It's literally common knowledge.

Well, of course, we never had this trouble with star networks on mainframes. But that was before
there was an internet, really. I agree that Windows is basically not very good - Vista may be better,
but there are security patches out already, so maybe not. There's always Linux...
But whatever you build into the software, certain stuff has to be openable to be able to admin the
OS. And that will always create a door that the user chooses to leave open or not.
