Warning: A Virus has been found!

@ 06:19 PM (5 months, 17 days ago)
All my life from college up to now
i dwell 12 hours or more browsing
the net, playing online games,
blogging, chatting, checking mails,
downloading, learning etc...

I was taught, trained, certified, & worked as
an IT professional, multitasking in programming,
software installation, network administration,
database administration, creating websites,
flash animations, graphic designing, troubleshooting,
desktop support  or consultancy.

But beyond all these knowledge there are underground brains
working 24/7, creating destructive scripts known as computer
VIRUS, just to prove they can conquer and penetrate to all
kinds of computer systems.

Computer Virus define ~ is a computer program that can copy itself
and infect a computer without permission or knowledge of the user.
The original virus may modify the copies, or the copies may modify
themselves, as occurs in a metamorphic virus.

A virus can only spread from one computer to another when its host
is taken to the uninfected computer, for instance by a user sending
it over a network or the Internet, or by carrying it on a removable
medium such as a floppy disk, CD, or USB drive. Additionally, viruses
can spread to other computers by infecting files on a network file
system or a file system that is accessed by another computer.

Viruses are sometimes confused with computer worms and Trojan
horses. A worm can spread itself to other computers without
needing to be transferred as part of a host, and a Trojan horse
is a file that appears harmless until executed.

Many years had passed the battle continues between Anti-virus
& Pro-Virus. You can't blame the endusers if they will conclude
that Anti-Virus companies are the ones who are responsible for
all this new viruses spreading, for them to sustain their existence
in the field of Information Technology.

Our only self defense for now is an updated Anti-Virus?
An updated Authentic Operating System or Applications?
High end hardware or software firewall?
Hmmm. Big profit huh!

For this an IT expert is needed as long as there is an internet
or IT infrastructure that sustains every businesses all over the world.
Without an IT professionals, who will guard, protect & maintain our system?
Well, i gain too.
