Whenever we use internet there is one thing which always keep running in our mind is if my antivirus capable to stop all kind of virus. The real answer is no. whatever anti virus you use there is a possibity of a stronger virus entering into your computer deceiving that anti virus. Now if we think about the reason of getting virus then only thing which come into our mind is internet. If there was no internet on your computer could yo still been affected by virus well probably not untill you used a correpted disc.
At the moment virus has been the biggest threat for internet user.......... or Are you thinking about hacking. The only difference between thse do is with virus you loose but the sender does not get anything and in hacking your los is hackers gain.

If we are on internet, lets put in our mind that we are exposed from any viruses running around. If we are not using an internet, we are safe from virus unless we use a USB or any external gadget that already infected.
Have a nice day!!!

The biggest headache of net users is the possibility of virus attacks. Internet is made unsafe by hackers and pranksters who write malicious codes to infect people's computers. Installing antivirus or anti-spyware software on our computers may help to minimize the possibility of virus infection. However, if the user insists on visiting unsafe websites and installing suspicious software from these sites, then they can only blame themselves if viruses infect their computers. Not only the Internet, viruses and trojans can also be spread via emails. The rule of thumb is, try not to visit P2P sites or opening email attachments from unknown or suspicious senders. Get regular updates for the antivirus or anti-spyware programs. That should keep us safe.

Well there are viruses that are being used by these hackers as well. These two words are almost synonymous with each other. There is even this spywares and adwares that are also spreading like viruses. Internet threats are increasing in numbers and the purpose are getting confusing nowadays since the first time a virus was detected.
