There are times that I need to talk to certain friends in YM. However, there are situations that they signed in as invisible. This prompt me to search if there is a way to know their real status.

Where do I get computer viruses?

May 9, 2009

H1N1/Swine flu virus is the pandemic threat we are facing right now. In line with that, let us talk about computer virus. Where do I get it?

I noticed that there are two primary sources of computer virus that inflicted my computer.

  1. USB storage devices
  2. Internet

This is easy to understand. There must be a way on how the software(virus) penetrated your system. It is ‘almost’ impossible that your PC will generate it’s own virus. Unless you are doing some research and development (R&D) about viruses.

As a preliminary measure, I am very cautious in inserting USB storage devices to my PC. As much as possible, I avoid it. And when it comes to the internet, I only visit websites that are known to be safe.

If you don’t want to have computer virus, linux is a safe place for you not to be infected. That’s why i used linux in browsing.
