TRENDS OF THE WEEK, MID-WEEK



We're seeing more "Worms" on computers which can wreak havoc on a business or home network. Unlike a Computer Virus, which infects one PC, a worm is smart enough to travel around your network, looking for an attached item to infect. 1999-2003 were really bad years as far as "worms" go, so I'm surprised to see them back again.


Another threat discovered on a computer (today) is called "Trojan.spyeyes", which is your typical keystroke logger Trojan that sends every keystroke you make back to someones PC or Server, allowing them to get your online-banking login/password and much-much-more! You can read more about this Trojan from a January 6th article on the "Dailymail" in the U.K. HERE.
