All Just just about Computer VirusThe ne'er
ending Spyware……story

It’s been with us since 1993, it’s gotten much intrusive, much complicated.
It’s created a whole ecosystem, so to speak.
A person sits somewhere, writing a new virus, a new application of Spyware. It is put onto the Computer network and Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware vendors begin to develop definitions to combat it, possibly even as to finish it permanently. These fixes are incorporated into the new versions of the software system they sell, or distribute as freeware.
Existing companies, businesses, and users struggle to support up with what to use, overwhelmed, their lifeline to the Computer network depends on it. In this portion of the system you have;
The end user. YOU!
Your Computer network Provider, Hosting Service, ect.
The businesses on the Internet, all of em.
The existing companies and vendors providing the Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware Programs.
Adding to this ecosystem, new companies start up to get into the quickly exploding business, marketing their own software.
More additions occur as new businesses start up to sell the software system the companies have produced.
New and old online users buy upgraded and new software system to try and protect their personal information from being stolen. Fretted into all the above is the cognition required to cognize how to protect ourselves with the basics. A hardware or software system Firewall, Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware.
Whew! Ok, rest.
Point to chew over piece resting….recent eWeek.com tests reveal that several Vendors are failing to provide solutions once
it comes to finding and for good
destroying Viruses and Spyware.
Rested? Then let’s look at it from another angle shall we?
Without the person somewhere in the earth writing the virus or Spyware, there would-be be no need for the person that is writing the program to combat it. There would-be be no need for the institution that employs the person writing the programs to combat the virus or Spyware. No need for the Businesses that sell the programs the institution markets.
Still with me? Good. And finally,
No need for the user, you, to protect yourself.
I hope this lil exercise has established informative.
Take Care.
