*Every* computer connected to the internet is vulnerable to fraud and
computer vandalism. This leaves our pockets prey to the software
protection industry's heavy charges to keep us safe. Yet it's possible
to get legal, professional quality anti-virus and other protective
software, -absolutely free-.

Threats to your computer come in different guises with various funky
names. Collectively they're considered malicious software, abbreviated
to 'malware' in security parlance. The main types are as follows:
*Viruses*. -Hidden programmes which wreak havoc-.
These are transmitted via websites, e-mail attachments, directly over
the internet, or via any other removable media. They hide in
applications or files and spread from computer to computer, generally
wreaking havoc wherever they get the chance to.
*Trojans*. -Bugs within harmless looking files.-
Trojan (horses) are hidden within a file that looks harmless, like a
picture of a celebrity, aiming to trick the user into installing the
malicious software like spyware or adware on the computer.
*Worms*. -Can drill in via open web connections -
Worms take advantage of any open Internet connection, to try and sneak
in and replicate on the computer. Once loaded, they often start to send
spam email from your computer without your knowledge.
