Here you will find resources concerning Viruses, Trojan Horses, 'Time Bombs', etc.

THE GOLDEN RULES [IMHO]:
1. DON'T open ANY Attachments that you are not expecting.
"Curiousity killed the Computer"
2. Do NOT e-mail your password to anyone, including 'System Administrator'.
"My snake oil cures everything, wanna buy the brooklyn bridge too?"
3. DO get a good Anti-Virus Program and Keep it Up-To-Date.
"A Condom for Your Computer"
4. You ARE smarter than your computer, so learn how.
"Stupidity is Not inbred"
5. Panic: A sudden, overpowering terror.
"The sky is falling, The sky is..."
