What's New Catching a Virus by Mike Rinelli Computer viruses are the source of major problems in the computer and automation industry. They can cause downtime and waste many hours of productivity. The key to avoiding these viruses is to be sufficiently protected and to have the proper tools to find and remove them.
Computer viruses are programs created with malicious intent that cause havoc to computer systems.
When you run a program that has a virus, the virus begins to duplicate itself. Systems that may have been infected a long time ago can pass the virus on to others via a floppy diskette. It is possible to get viruses from shareware, from production disks, or over networks. Rockwell Software takes extreme care to perform a thorough virus check before distributing software. Our bulletin board System Operator is constantly checking for viruses with the latest known definitions.
