ARE YOU AS SICK OF SCAMS AS I AM??
The purpose of this page is to keep the Internet
community informed about safety on the web. Viruses and worms will remain a threat, but we can protect
ourselves. Aside from using a good anti-virus program, we must always be vigilant. Our goal is
to warn you of new viruses detected, as well as remind you of key safety issues on the web. We'd
love to hear your feedback. Drop us a line in our guestbook. Be sure to check our Tip of the
week at the bottom of this page! |

Anti-Virus Software
Using Anti-Virus Software:
There are many anti-virus programs available.
Generally, they detect viruses on storage disks, such as floppies and files that have been downloaded from the
Internet. These programs prevent viruses from infecting your PC in the first
place.
Most anti-virus packages can be set up to scan your
system regularly, but you should also get into the good habit of running the program every time you want to
use a disk or download a file.
If a virus does make its way onto your computer, the
software will alert you by bringing up a warning on the screen. At this point you must use the
disinfecting function in the anti-virus program. This is normally a straightforward process,
performed by following the on-screen instructions given by the program. Sometimes, the infected
item cannot be repaired. In this case you should delete the file or, in the case of a program,
uninstall then replace it.
Keep Up To Date:
Because more than 400 new viruses appear every month,
it is vital to keep your software up to date. The best anti-virus packages can be updated by
downloading new information from their related Web sites. Check your software for details on how to
do this.
Worst Case Scenario:
With proper use of an anti-virus program, you should
be able to detect and remove any viruses before they cause really serious damage. The worst situation
you could find yourself in, is that a
virus has destroyed the contents of your hard disk.
In such a case you will have to restore the hard disk
from your original system disks. This is like restoring your computer to its original state, as it was on
the day you bought it. The original settings for it will be restored, but you will probably have
lost all your documents and data files.
