1. The first thing you need to do is jump on the internet and read a little. Get a feel for what goes on in the news and see what relates to computer security. This will help keep you motivated to learn more.

Hackers and viruses can be like that. They have a certain stealth effect. I once found over 2000 viruses on a friends computer.

They had no idea they were on there. Their computer started to run slow and that was about it. However, with that many viruses loaded in there. It was only just a matter of time before something bad happened.

Viruses can be that way. They sit on your computer for awhile and then they release at a certain date. People who write these programs can tell them to do all sorts of things.

Remember a computer virus acts just like a virus you or I may get. One it's in there it will duplicate it's self over and over again.

This is why you need to learn a little and protect all your information on your computer.
