Ask the average Internet user about security for their computer, and they either look blankly at you, or mumble something about anti-virus and firewalls, most often without any real idea of what these things are or what they do. In fact, many of the people who have these products installed on their computer still open strange email attachments promising pictures of celebrities undressed, or some mysterious information not asked for. Talk about installing the door locks and window bars but inviting strange looking men with baseball bats into the house for a cup of coffee. What's the missing piece?
Some of these mass-mailing viruses require that users:
1. open an email message
2. open a picture to determine a word used as a password
3. open a zip file
4. enter the password when prompted
5. and then run what is included in the zip file
Det påminner mig om en mac-användare som lyckades bli smittad av ett msword-virus som egentligen bara skulle funka på en pc. Han märkte att viruset inte funkade som det skulle på hans egna dator. Då sparade han ner viruset till en diskett, och kopierade det till chefens pc, där han körde det. Viruset var ganska omskrivet när det skedde (tror det var loveletter, men kommer egentligen inte ihåg så noga), men tydligen hade inte han hört talas om det.
