Viruses can infect your network from many sources, from floppy disks and compact discs to e-mail and downloading files from the Internet. Recently the Nimda virus was even able to infect computers just by someone browsing a web page using Internet Explorer.
To achieve basic security on the Internet requires Anti-Virus, Anti-Trojan, personal firewall, and privacy software. When you install Anti-Virus software, go to the vendor's web site and update the virus definitions immediately and then at least weekly thereafter. Anti-Virus software is only as effective as its most recent update because it is inherently reactive treating "known" threats.
If you use Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express,
consider replacing them with another well regarded
email program like Eudora. Propagation of most malicious code (virus, Trojan & worm) is
done by email and is designed to take advantage of weaknesses in Microsoft products. Eudora is supported by the email
scanners of Norton, Panda, McAfee and Trend Micro Anti-Virus products.
