VIRUSES
About 16.000 viruses have been encountered by various antivirus research
labs, and that number is expected to continue growing rapidly.
Though it is difficult to predict what the next major class of viruses will be or
when it will hit, the place it hits is likely to be the Internet. Viruses are spread due to
human contacts, such as exchanging disks or posting an infected file on a server. But
they move from system to system also by themselves actively seeking out new
computers to infect.
