Journal Assignment Two - Malware

I selected this article because it explains how vulnerable we are on the internet. Basically, as mentioned in class, the user does not have to click or download anything to be infected with malware; it is as easy as visiting an infected website. The process is called “drive-by download.” The article states that the Trojan or malware will collect the user information and in extreme cases such as this, will collect banking information. It is very important for internet users to keep their virus program up-to-date and to use free programs such as, Ad-aware, to keep your computer as safe as possible.
