Privacy, Security & Virus Information

A full proof and totally free of charge method for protecting your computer from every kind of computer virus has just been announced

And that is never to switch it on, or at least never connect to the internet, which would kind of defeat the purpose of having a computer in this day and age. Once a computer has been connected to the net, and it is without virus protection than it is vulnerable to invasion as if it has been online for years. Viruses and other malware are lying in wait to invade a computer and it could just a few minutes before they come knocking on the door, to discover that it has been left ajar.

Computer viruses didn't earn their title because it slipped off someone's tongue. There are human viruses and there are computer viruses and they bear strong similarities. A person can become really ill from being infected with a virus as a can a computer. The difference is that a human will, in most cases, eventually recover from a virus while a computer will gradually deteriorate into an uncooperative and unfriendly monster if left untreated.

The first signs that a computer has been infected by a virus, is that it begins to operate increasingly slowly. While this is something that can be very frustrating for the operator, but is a small time problem compared to what lies in store. The next tell-tale sign that there are gremlins at work is when your disc drives begin to lock you out. You will find yourself increasingly using your right click button as you battle to retain control of your computer, which is becoming increasingly unfriendly.

Dependant on the strength and the nature of the virus which is attacking your computer there will eventually be no option but to take some very radical steps to get your computer back on the road to health. This will invariably require the services of a computer technician who knows what will be required to get your computer clear of all these viruses. Computer technicians are like doctors and will not be slow to point out that an unprotected computer will only become a sick one again, and in next to no time.

So like humans take their preventative medicines so you should protect your computer with a dose of what is good for it. Not that you should pour some cough medicine through the DVD drive, more that you should install a professional and efficient anti-virus program.
