Misconceptions Regarding Computer Viruses

There's often a lot of misconceptions associated with computer "viruses". This misconception stems mostly from a lack of knowledge and computer savvy. The lay person will tell you when they're having problems with their computer that it's infected with a "virus". While they may certainly be right more often than not the infection or problems their computer has been dealing with is often a result of other things.

These other things known as Malware and spyware are often referred to as viruses by the vast majority of people. Malware and spyware have been called viruses for nearly a decade now and labeled that so frequently that even many savvy industry insiders refer to them as viruses. It shouldn be noted however that computer viruses however are much more dangerous and malicious than Malware and spyware. Why all three can potentially damage computer and steal important information, Malware and spyware are more a nuisance than anything else.

Malware and spyware are easily contracted even by the most savvy and experienced computer user but thankfully most are easy to get rid of. You can protect yourself from Malware, spyware, and even viruses by running a good security suite on your computer and in business, a company's network.
