mYTH DR FReT: FII/E onLInE 5RFETY TIPS~------CYBER 5ECURITY-------VirusesMyth: You can get a computer virus just by opening an e-mail.

Fact: False. To get a virus you need to open an e-mail attachment. However, opening the mail can stilllc( a spal11­mer know your address is active.

Avoid the PlagueOpening an attachment from an unknown source is risky, and especially if you don't check it with anti-virus soft­ware first. Anti-virus software only works properly if it's updated constantly, because new viruses are always on theloose. It's not difficult to hide a virus in a file-sharing site. Most Peer-to-Peer networks will let you report anyonewho disguises viruses as files. Howe~er, telling the network about a bad user isn't going to take that virus off yourmachine.

Word Up!, Virus-Executable code (computer program) that infects itself to other computer programs in order to cause

destructive computer events. They are most commonly spread through e-mail attachments, infected disks, and filedownloads. They can only be spread with human assistance.

Worm-A special type of virus that can replicate itself and use your memory to cause harm to your friend's com­puter. Worms can spread by themselves within a network of computers.TrojanHorse-A virus in disguise. What looks like a free game actually is a program that might erase files onyour hard drive.

How to help secure your computer• Install and run anti-virus software.

• Update your anti-virus software regularly.•Ask the sender if they meant to send you an attachment .

• Delete questionable e-mail ore-mail addresses you don't know .• Be aware of files with extensions .exe, .vbs, and .ser.

• Install anti-spyware software to help protect your computer from

spyware and viruses.

The Reality• Worldwide 12.4 billion spam e-mails are sent everyday. **• 26 states have anti-spam laws. **• Onaverage individuals receive 6 spame-mails per day. *·In the USAalone, it is estimated that spam costs the country more than $10 billion annually due to expenses for anti-spamequipment, software, manpower, and lost productivity. *
