Innocent times spent sharing documents and executable files without a care in the world. Okay, every month or so you might encounter a boot sector virus but they were easy to deal with even if the anti-virus software didnt pick them up. But those long lazy summers disappeared too fast. Macro viruses made Information Technology (IT) administrators grow up fast as they realized there was a type of virus which could spread very quickly throughout an organization. It wasnt unusual to find hundreds of computers within personal company infected by viruses transmitted via email attachments. The IT staff were amongst the fittest departments in your company, running from Personal Computer (PC) to the next cleaning them up. There had to be a better way. Companies now realize that viruses arent urban myths, and can have a serious impact on their operations. They invest in anti-virus software on the desktops, servers and email gateways and even put in place procedures to ensure their anti-virus is up-to-date with the very latest detection routines. It sounds like companies have put in place adequate defenses to protect against viruses. But have they? Anti-virus software detects most of the viruses your users are likely to encounter often without the user even knowing. However, the software must be updated regularly, preferably daily in any large company. Even then, a very new virus can infect your users. With the rapid transmission of files through networks and the Internet, a virus can spread a considerable distance before it can be identified and protected against. Fortunately, only a few viruses ever do this but the likes of Melissa and the Love Bug can inflict serious damage before their progress is stopped. While employees become suddenly aware during the ensuing media excitement, they soon forget about the virus threat as the stories disappear from the news headlines. This is the danger. Complacency can set in when there is no perceived action on the virus front with no global crisis, and the importance of being vigilant about viruses recedes in your users minds. They forget what the big deal was in the first place after all, anti-virus software deals with the viruses, doesnt it? And isnt it the IT departments job to look after this sort of thing? Before you know it your users are opening unsolicited attachments once more, downloading unauthorized software, and putting your companys data and credibility at risk. All because the users think that they are working in a safe environment. Employees see anti-virus software, firewalls and IT departments as guarantees that their computers will work and be safe. Of course, there arent any guarantees. Anti-virus software plays one, albeit important, part in the defense of your company from malicious attack but the security of your computer system is only as strong as the weakest link. And that, more often than not, is the human factor. No employer wants to come across as a killjoy or an ogre. Most will willingly accept that the happiest employees are those who feel that they are respected and trusted by their employer. Many companies accept that employees will send and receive a certain amount of personal email and make the odd personal telephone call. However, the worry comes when employees start risking company security in pursuit of personal amusement. Funny screensavers and games downloaded from the Internet can seem harmless enough but they could easily be harboring a dangerous virus. Software downloaded from the net is often unlicensed and unsupported, and may cause conflicts with existing software in use at your company. Unlicensed, pirated software is an ideal vector for a computer virus. Virus writers and hackers often use such software as the ideal kick-start for their virus distribution. It is vitally important that employees be educated about the virus threat but this cannot be a one-off event. The potential threat should always be in the back of an employees mind and precautionary measures should be taken as a matter of course. There is no harm in reminding people about what could happen if they let their guard down. In the end, education is the key to a virus-free environment and this is a continual process. It may not be the most exciting thing on the agenda but it works. The lesson is simple. You can have the best software in the world protecting your companys defenses; you can even be the biggest IT company in the world; but without your users practicing safe computing they will always be the weakest link. 1.

She was feeling sick. She had two exams that day and physics was first .She really hated physics. It was her worst subject. Terry Looked back at her from the front of the line, and then looked away quickly. Mo thought she looked guilty. She didnt have a problem with physics, She didnt have a problem with anything .Miss Perfect! Hi ,Mo, its your favourite exam today said Nima , laughing as she joined the line .Terry was looking at Mo again .So whats wrong with her? asked Nima. I thought you were friends. Yes, so did I, said Mo, but she hasnt spoken to me for two weeks now. She promised to help me review for the physics exam too, but then shes ignored all my calls and texts .And when I rang her house ,her mum just told me she was busy. Shes forgotten who her friends are! said Mo angrily. Are you listening to me? Mr. Reed was talking to the class and the other students were going into the exam room. Mo gave Nima a worried look and followed them. Mo couldnt answer question number five. She looked up and saw Terry sitting two rows in front of her. Mo couldnt believe it! Terry was holding her phone on her knee under the table and reading from it. Is that how Terry always got such good grades? She felt really angry at Terry, but she didnt know what to do. She thought about telling the teacher, but what would everyone else think of her? Stop writing and put your pens down said Mr. Reed as he started to collect the exam papers. Oh no, Mo hadnt answered two of the questions. She was going to fail again! Mo wanted to talk to Terry at lunch time, but she couldnt find her anywhere. The next exam was history. That was Mos favourite subject but she wasnt feeling good. Mo went to the library to study, but she couldnt concentrate. She didnt know what to do about Terry.

Just then, Mr. Reed walked past her table. Mr. Reed. . . Mo was sitting behind Terry again in the history exam that afternoon. Mo was feeling terrible. Why had she told Mr. Reed? But it was too late now. And anyway, Terry didnt want to be her friend! Mr. Reed wanted her to look at him and nod if she saw that Terry was cheating in the exam. She was working on the last question when she saw that Terry had her phone under the table Without thinking, Mo looked up and nodded to Mr. Reed. Terry was too busy looking at her phone and she didnt hear him as he walked silently up to her table. Mr. Reed didnt say anything. He jus picked up her exam paper, tore it in half and pointed to the door, to tell Terry to leave the room. Terry was crying as she walked to the door. Everyone was staring at her and Mo felt really guilty now. Why did she tell Mr. Reed? Mo was walking towards the school gate, when she heard footsteps behind her. It was Terry. Mo, please wait I want to talk to you. Mo could see that Terry had been crying, her face was pale and her eyes were red. Mo couldnt say a word. Listen, said Terry. Im really sorry I havent answered any of your calls, but were h
