Computer Viruses

Paper Summary:

The purpose of this study is a quantitative descriptive analysis of computer viruses. Specifically the researcher identifies what key factors identify users at risk for contracting computer viruses and what methods or techniques are best suited for combating increasingly insidious computer viruses in the future. The researcher proposes a pilot study that will facilitate further studies in this field, much larger and much more comprehensive, that will potentially have global implications for preventing computer virus damage to private and corporate users in the future.

From the Paper:

"In today's society, research suggests that computer viruses are perhaps one of the most prevalent security threats facing individuals, corporations and network computer users. Computer viruses have many abilities, including the ability to completely corrupt or delete data and crash computer systems. The implications of such damage are wide ranging. Computer viruses can corrupt, destroy and eliminate data and damage computer systems. They can debilitate an organization and result in economic and financial loss that is in many cases unrecoverable. For this reason it is vital that computer viruses are better understood, addressed and hopefully prevented."
