Computer Infections
Years gone by viruses were the major infections of computers. They were responsible for minor irritations from opening and closing cdrom
drive doors to allowing data to be corrupted or simply disappear. These days only about 3 to 5% of computer infections are caused
by viruses. We have a bigger threat known as Spyware or Malicious ware. No Windows computer is immune to these infections which range from
harmless advertising popups on your screen to identity theft and obliteration of your operating system.
