My computer has a virus. How did this happen?

Posted on September 23, 2019 by Lani Sutherland

Thousands of new viruses, trojans, and worms are created every day. Sometimes, even the best anti-virus software in the world can’t protect your computer from being infected. Here are some of the most common ways this can happen

Clicking on an intriguing pop-up ad which contains a trojan
Opening a malicious email attachment
Downloading a virus from a file-sharing program such as LimeWire
Your anti-virus software was not updated
Your system was infected before anti-virus was installed
