When is a Virus Not a Virus

When its a hoax!

Having said this a hoax can become a simply by individuals, in the belief they are doing there duty, forwarding the hoax across the Internet to other unsuspecting individuals, these individuals read the warning and forward it on to still more people. Thus the "virus" spreads throughout the Internet. The next time you receive an email warning of potential hazard to your computer it would be best to report this to your IT manager, if you have one, or perhaps do a search in Google as often these hoaxes have fairly high publicity and it may appear there. Type in a sentence from your mail and see what comes up.

but whatever you do please check out verify its authenticity before forwarding it on to someone. As much damage can be caused by good intention as by those who actually do send viruses on.

AVG Anti Virus Software

AVG

Why should we use AVG Anti Virus software? Well to the many thousands of people who have had their Pc's or Data destroyed my the malicious connivings of those with little better to do with their live the answer is obvious. I have, however come across a few lucky people who have said " I have never had a virus so see no reason to go to the expense of buying software to prevent it". Once it has been pointed out to them that their PC does not necessarily have to show signs of a virus to actually have one but that they could be happily spreading a virus to many others that they pause to think. There are many and varied Virus checkers out there on the market but there are few that will actually give you there product free AVG is one of these. They are very confident that you will like there product so much so they will let you have it free and trust that you will return to buy the professional version. I use the Pro version and am very happy with it, I think you would be too. You can visit their web site to see what they have to offer by clicking on the image or any of the links in this blog.
