101 - Defend Yourself Against Viruses

Nowhere is the need for education more acute than in the field of viruses and malicious software (or 'malware'). The damage resulting from viruses each year runs into billions of dollars. But, even if you've installed sophisticated perimeter defenses, one user circumventing these precautions can mean that you're in trouble.

"Defend Yourself Against Viruses" is designed to educate staff about these hazards and covers the following topics:

• What is a virus and how can they affect you?
• How can you get a virus?
• Where do viruses come from?
• What will not give you a virus?
• What is an email attachment?
• How to handle attachments.
• What to do if you think you've been infected.
• Hoaxes and chain letters.
