What is a virus or worm?

0

A virus is code that attaches themselves to other code or data to propagate. A worm is self-contained and can spread without attaching or riding on something else and without human intervention (such as opening an email). Some viruses or worms cause your computer to upload huge amounts of data as it attempts to infect other computers. For the safety of our local network we block such traffic. To eliminate the possibility of a virus or worm, please scan your computer for viruses and apply the latest updates. You can perform a FREE virus scan of your computer by using the following link: http://housecall.trendmicro.com/housecall/start_corp.
