Remember to never open attached e-mail files without first saving them to the hard drive and scanning them for known viruses.
Computer Viruses are major concern and virus exploits seem to keep just a step ahead of anti-virus technology so there is always a new one hitting the scene and wreaking havoc (some minor, some major) until the cure is developed - In the meantime, you can learn how to protect your computer from catching it.

There is little or no money to be made from simply distributing viruses, but when you combine the capabilities of a virus and the profit that can be earned from spam, suddenly you have a more materialistic proposition.
