Viruses

There are hundreds of viruses out there and unless you protect yourself from them you become a bright red target for them. Every moment you are on the Internet you expose your self to any and all risks that exist in cyberspace. All viruses can be classified in to the following five categories:

System sector viruses - Infects a part of the computer you usually do not see.

Macro viruses - A malicious program that runs when another program like word or excel runs.

File Viruses - Independent programs that exist on your computer to do various hostile activities.

No matter which category of virus infects your computer, they all have deadly consequences. It is vital to have a good anti-virus software installed and to update virus definition on a regular basis.

Adware

Adwares are programs that infect your computer for the purpose of providing large companies with a means of advertising their products to you. Although this may sound harmless, it can become a nightmare. As soon as one of these programs infects your system they continuously download other adware until they eat up all your system resources. This causes your system to slow to a crawl. Often your system might slow to the point that you would not be able to use your computer.

Spyware

This malicious code does exactly what its name suggests, it SPIES on you. There are many companies out there that are interested in knowing you. More precisely these corporations are interested in your surfing/shopping habits. One application of this data is advertising agencies use it to target their advertisement to you. They claim this way you only see ads of products that will interest you. Some go to the extend of propagating your computer with spyware in order to gather this data. This is a serious violation of your privacy. Not only does it violate your privacy but it eats up precious resources on your computer, reducing the speed of your computer.

Unfortunately this is not the extend of the damage caused by spyware. A variety of programs are used by hackers for the purpose of monitoring keyboard input.

Information such as credit card numbers, bank account information and secure passwords.
