| The proper precaution in opening e-mails, downloading files, visiting websites, providing information are still the best steps to fight these so called cyber attacks. Of course it is also highly recommendable to install reliable anti-virus programs. Thank the cyber gods for making such effective anti-virus and wares solutions. Of course, half the battle is already won if you are careful at how you are using various online services. Too bad as there are some hackers who will always be up to no good to create some new forms of virus that could over ride the safety walls of such secure anti-virus softwares. |
| I also feel annoyed once my computer is affected by virus. So I also take time to check on the internet on how I could restore the files affected by downloading anti-virus software. So I think it is really important to secure your file and back them up so that when time comes that you're computer is infected by virus so you have less worries. Thanks for the post. |
| I have to say that those virus creators are some of the brightest minds that ever exist. They are so bright that they want to be destructive just to find out the extent of the damage that they are capable of doing. Now, those viruses can also enter our computers and mobile phones through bluetooth so you should beware. These people who create viruses are absolutely crazy. There should be a hospital for people like them. |
| That is true Frances. There are lots of people who create viruses and it is all because they want to prove something. But I must admit that I find them really smart and great thinkers. But thinking of all the effects having those virus in our computer and mobile phones makes me hate them really. But anyway, thanks for sharing in here and have a great day to all. ciao. |
| Hi there! Yes, I agree with you guys. There are really people who want nothing but to destroy other people's file. They will do everything for the sake of money. This is what I don't really understand. I suggest that we all have to be very careful about some important information that we store in our computers. Always keep your computers guarded by anti virus software. Thank you so much and have a great day to all! |
