Mike's Anti Virus Resources

 

I first became interested in computer viruses when my computer was trashed by STONED.LZR a couple of years ago. I knew nothing about the nature of viruses, and was shocked when my computer became unusable in a few short days.

 

After paying $100.00 for professional disinfection, I thought it was time to get educated.

 

During my own research, I wrote a technical paper about how computer viruses impact post-secondary students. I cut and pasted the good parts out and welcome you to have a look.
