Chapter 6: Computer and Network Security

I found the section about viruses, worms, and Trojan horses the most interesting. I never truly understood how viruses worked, but knew I didn't want them infecting my computer. One thing I like about the company my e-mail is through is that they scan for e-mails that may contain viruses. They send me a message telling me that there are e-mails that may be infected by viruses and I can go check them at a different location. I also never open a message from an unfamiliar account. It's amazing how smart people are to be able to create such programs and viruses, but totally unethical!
