They can corrupt or erase data and even knock out a computer. But the contagion risk to users, contrary to rumor, is not as serious as some would have you believe. This article's goal is threefold : to confirm the danger of viruses, to set the record straight about the fables and to advise you on how to protect your computer systems. Fact : Your computer can't get infected by a virus simply by displaying an e - mail message - but beware, there are exceptions, as you will discover later in this article. Viruses cannot invade your computer when you browse the Internet or download text files from electronic bulletin boards. Nor can they scan your computer for personal information. Not even the most virulent virus can destroy the electronic circuitry of your processor, but it can stall a computer by duplicating so many files that the hard disk quickly reaches capacity and halts. The fables that have grown up about viruses are more than innocent, amusing stories ; their impact is costly. Vast sums are spent for virus protection when there is little or no threat, and some people, in fear of viruses' contagion from the Internet, won't use e - mail. Even people who are otherwise computer savvy have been taken in by some outrageous stories about viruses, further inflaming the hysteria.
