Security Watch: Crafty Bagle viruses keep spreading
Security Watch: Crafty Bagle viruses keep spreading - CNET reviews
This is an interesting article about the changing nature of computer viruses. In the past, viruses have sought to infect as many computers as possible as quickly as possible. A new wave of viruses may instead seek to infect only a few computers so that its attack is more likely to go unnoticed. These new viruses will not seek to shut down your computer, but instead to take over control of your computer and use it to send out spam or your personal information. The best defense is still not downloading suspicious attachments and keeping your firewall and anti-virus program updated and running.
