Earlier we gave you a short history of viruses. Now, let us find out, who is really responsible for any viruses your computer may have and what you can do about it. The bottom-line is that each of is ultimately responsible for our own computers and unless we take the necessary precautions our computers are susceptible to viruses, intrusions, hackers and other malicious code.

In other words, it lets you know whether your computer is really protected against viruses.
The most important thing next to having an antivirus solution in the first place is that you keep it up-to-date. New viruses are invented every day. It is imperative to keep your AV updated. We don't want the next RED ALERT to include your computer!
