Virus and Security Information



Very Scary Quote:

"It's estimated that an unprotected, unpatched PC connected to the Internet will fall victim to some sort of infection within 20 minutes."

From:  PC How To magazine, Issue 31, December 2004.

Translation:  This means that a computer without up-to-date virus protection, and without the Windows Security Updates, does not stand a chance when on the Internet!
