In today's rather anarchic net it can be difficult to tell if your files are safe. A virus can compromise them, a small program that can attach it?s self to other software, and replicate itself, spreading the infection to any computer that uses the contaminated software. Viruses can do various things, from making a system file keep growing until you don't have any free space left, to making MS Word unable to save, to even damaging your hard drive. Viruses must either be run or opened (for MSWord macro viruses only), just downloading the program cannot spread or activate them. The programs listed here are the latest Virus Definition updates for your Virus Scanner. Without the latest version, you can be vulnerable to getting a virus. You can also run a "LiveUpdate" feature built into your scanner to keep up to date.
