If you are interested in creating a computer virus, trojan, worm, malware, or other malicious program as revenge, payback, or as a prank, we suggest you rethink. Creating a virus that deletes files or causes other issues resolves nothing and will result in prosecution by the law. In other words, you could be fined or sent to prison.

Yes, it is ok for a spyware or malware program to be installed on a computer that is already running an antivirus program. Although most antivirus programs can detect and remove viruses, spyware, and other malware, we recommend that you also use a spyware protection program.

No. It is not against the law or a crime to make a computer virus, Trojan, or malware. However, if that virus or malware spreads to additional computers intentionally or by mistake, you have violated the law, and you could be held liable for any damages it causes.

Yes. A firewall will not protect you from viruses and other malware. A firewall limits outside network access to a computer or local network by blocking or restricting ports. Firewalls help prevent your computer from communicating with other computers on the network and Internet.

If you want to truly protect your computer from potential threats, we suggesting having both a firewall and antivirus program installed on your computer. Or, at a minimum, we recommend that firewall functionality be enabled on your router.

A virus is considered malware; therefore there really is no difference. The term 'malware' is used as a way describe any malicious software including: adware, spyware, worms, trojans, and viruses.

Malware is becoming a more common term because it covers a wide variety of threats to computers (such as those mentioned above), rather than just viruses.

If your computer has been infected by a virus, ITS recommends that you follow the guidelines below. The Evaluate Security and Download Files section will help you to identify the current level of security on your computer and the files you will need to download. The Install and Run Necessary Software section will help you install and run the antivirus program.

New viruses are released every day. It may take time for the vendor of your antivirus software to develop a solution for a new virus. For these reasons, we cannot guarantee that the steps below will successfully remove all the viruses from your computer.
