A worm is like a virus—it also replicates itself. However, it can stand on its own and does not need another program to run. It usually infects your computer’s networking features, which includes its internet connection.

Spyware and adware go hand-in-hand. Spyware is a kind of program which gathers information, specifically browsing habits.

It tracks down what kind of sites you visit, and adware will generate ads that fit with your interest which spyware based on information it gathered in first place.

Malware is malicious software. It’s any program that is useless, or worse, destructive. A Trojan a program pretending to be good but once it’s deep in your system it proves to be quite opposite.

In spite of all their differences, they have one thing in common: they are out to give you headaches by rendering your computer unusable.

To protect your computer as much as possible from being infected, here are four dangerous activities that you should avoid, or at least minimize:

• Opening email attachments

Do not open any email attachments if they aren’t scanned by antivirus software. Worms can spread through email, so even a friend can unwittingly send you one by way of an attachment.

• Internet File-sharing

In file-sharing via internet, your computer is exposed and open to others it is communicating with. If other computers’ files can be transferred to yours, same thing can be said about a virus, if others are infected.

• Downloading free software of questionable origins.

DON'T LET SELF-DOUBT KEEP YOU FROM SUCCESS

Do you want to work for 40 years or more to make $40,000 a year or less, just so you can retire on 40% of what wasn't enough in first place? Tired of taking orders from disrespectful bosses that don't deserve your expertise, tired of working harder and harder, only to make your boss more wealthy?

Imagine owning a profitable home business that you could start TODAY without:

- Technical know-how, - Large capital investment or overhead, - Jeopardizing your current career, - Any of headaches of owning a traditional business.

What if all tools and techniques were provided for you instantly with simple to follow, step-by-step instructions.

DID YOU KNOW? The U.S. Social Security Board reports that 85 out of 100 Americans reaching age 65 don't aquire as much as $250, and only 2% are self-sustaining (the rest dependent on family, church, or government). Want to know what "2-percenters" know that you don't?
