3.14 VIRUSES AND SPAM

VIRUSES

A virus is a program written by someone who wants to cause mischief. Viruses often come in emails. They copy themselves from one computer to another and might damage your software, so if your computer isn’t behaving as normal it’s worth checking to see if you have a virus. To avoid this, make sure you always have antivirus software installed and kept up-to-date. One or two antivirus packages interfere with screenreaders so test that yours is working well for you after installing it.

SPAM

Spam is an email sent to thousands of people, often from criminals purporting to be your bank or trying to sell you fake goods. Just delete these. Your email package may put spam in a "junk" folder. If someone has sent you an email which you haven’t received, it’s worth checking your Junk folder to see if it’s there. From your Inbox, press CONTROL Y and ARROW DOWN the boxes till you reach "Junk" and press ENTER. There are specialist software packages that filter out spam if you are really troubled with it.
