Of course, knowledge is the best form of virus protection. If an unknown — meaning that the user did not install it — virus protection window pops up claiming that the computer is at risk go to a trusted anti-virus scanner to check it out. It is wise to have an updated, running virus scanner on the system, but there are also good online virus scanners available. Viruses can also be stopped if the user does not click on any unexpected links—even if it looks like it is being sent by a person the user knows--before asking the sender if he or she sent it. Lastly, always try to download software straight from the publisher to ensure that the software is legitimate and not a virus.
Recent statistics show that an unprotected computer can be infected with a virus, worm, or Trojan in less than five minutes after being placed on a network.
Worms and Trojans are the most common forms of infection and/or compromise. They are dependant on computer systems that have not been protected with the most current security patches released by operating system and application vendors. These neglected applications and operating systems provide easy targets for hackers to exploit in order to gain greater access for their criminal activity.
Some viruses prey on uninformed computer users. They do this by embedding attachments in appealing looking e-mails hoping to trick the user into activating the virus, worm, or Trojan. Viruses can also be transmitted during file sharing using Instant Messaging services. Users should never open an attachment in an e-mail or a file received through IM unless they know and trust the sender. Viruses can come from a friend or relative as easily as from a stranger. A common indicator that a virus is attached to an email is the presence of inadequate or misspelled text or short phrases like, "Attention!!!" or "Your file is attached." in the body of the message. An easy solution for this is to be suspicious of all attachments and shared files, even those from a known or trusted source.
In addition to patching, the most important tool a user can have to protect their computer from viruses is anti-virus software. This software protects a computer system from receiving viruses and from distributing a virus if the system becomes infected. The good news is that the University of Tennessee supplies free anti-virus software to all faculty, staff, and students. You can download the software at this link

Network Access Protection
Network Access Protection (NAP) is a security-policy enforcement technology built into Windows Server Longhorn, Windows Vista, and WindowsXP-sp2 that allow a computer administrator to develop and enforce compliance with health policies for network access and communication. NAP provides administrator-defined requirements for system health policy enforcement that help ensure computers connecting to a network or communicates on a network meet these policy requirements. NAP also provides an Application Programming Interface (API) to help administrators, developers and vendors enforce compliance with health policies for network access and communication.
In the early days of networking, when Ethernet was used simply to connect workgroup LANs, a concept of network security emerged that was based on a ?crunchy shell around a soft, chewy center.? This addressed the emerging threats created when opening up a door between the workgroup LANs by encouraging the hardening of the LAN perimeter. By focusing on the idea that the network is self-contained, and therefore safe, security meant mainly guarding that door.
Computer Viruses
Computer viruses are pieces of computer code, designed to implant itself in programs or files with the idea of destroying, or changing the data transmitted. Viruses can be spread through interchange of files and programs, loaded onto a computer and executed. They slow down computers, crash a system, or simply reroute data to other units. Virus numbers have risen since the 90s, and the U.S government has passed laws making virus introduction into computers of unknowing victims, a serious crime. Software companies have also sought to stem the tide by creating programs specifically for tracking down viruses and stopping them. Below are articles which provide information on latest computer viruses, virus statistics, computer virus protection and removal.
Virus Protection For The Mind
Editor’s note: This is a guest post from Steven Aitchison of Change Your Thoughts.
We all know how destructive viruses on our computer can be and how important it is to have virus protection installed. However we’re not so careful when it comes to protecting our own minds with the, often devastating, effects our own thoughts can have on it.
The more serious of these thought viruses can lead to mental health problems such as loss of confidence, mild depression, self esteem issues, and a distorted perception of ourselves.
Science has shown that there is a link between physical and mental well being and positive attitudes in life. When you are happy and content with life and your thought processes are working correctly your brain releases endorphins which is your brains way of dealing with pain and making your feel happier. Your brain also releases something called Gamma Globulin to strengthen your immune system and another chemical called Interferon which combats viruses, infections and even cancer.
How then do we combat these thought viruses and protect our minds in order to stay healthy mentally and physically.
The answer could be ‘thought awareness’. This is when we recognize the thoughts that could lead to a downward spiral of negative emotion resulting in mental and physical problems, in effect viruses in our minds.
