Some basic definitions:

There are many ways a malicious or mischievous programmer can cause a
problem. These are some of the ways:

TROJAN: A feature which is hidden. Sometimes called a "logic bomb". Named
        in recognition of the Trojan Horse of Greek mythology, where a group
        of soldiers, stuck for ideas for how to get into a city, built an
        enormous horse in which they could hide. They arranged for it to be
        presented to the good folks as a present with them safely hidden
        inside. The moral of the story is to beware of something that sounds
        too good to be true - there is likely to be a hidden surprise!
VIRUS:  To be correctly identified as a virus, a program must be able to
        reproduce itself. It sometimes uses stealth techniques similar to
        a trojan.
WORM:   A piece of programming which makes a nuisance of itself by slithering
        into places it's not wanted.

The key feature of these nasties is the nuisance value, which can be anything
from a simple practical joke message, "Your computer is stoned", to major
corruption of your data. With present day equipment, physical damage is
unlikely.

With the help of suitable firewall and anti-virus software, together
with a good meausre of good sense, the risk of damage to your equipment and
data can be kept to a minimum. The protection built in to the software
included in this package won't actually stop an infection, but will go some
way to prevent further damage to your system by using an infected copy.
