Laptop Security - Worm Viruses, Deadliest of All
Brought to you by low cost used HP Compaq laptops. Of the three most common types of malware (malware is short for malicious software, i.e. designed to harm) - viruses, Trojans and worms - the latter is the most harmful because only worms can function without human intervention.
Worms, like viruses, replicate themselves but unlike viruses are completely self-contained. Viruses need a 'host program' to spread, but worms propagate independently.
Though they can be designed to do the same kind of harm (file deletion, program corruption, etc), worms usually affect networks. Networks operate by means of servers and routers. The Internet is just a large set of mutually cooperating public computer networks.
Servers are similar to PC's, though usually faster and with more storage and other resources. They 'serve' other systems by making those resources available to multiple users. Routers are just specialized servers, typically of different hardware and operating systems, used to route network traffic. Hence the name.
Worms can be released into a network and their self-replication behavior causes damage. Since routers use memory, processor time, etc worms - like viruses - can overwhelm them, causing them to slow down and become unstable. Viruses don't have to delete files to do harm, they can cause the CPU - central processing unit, used to run programs - to be constantly busy. That leaves no resources for other programs to run.
Worms often carry 'payloads' - other types of malware such as spyware or backdoor installation programs. Spyware is used to monitor your computer activities and backdoors are hidden access points to your computer which can be exploited by hackers to send spam or steal data from your computer.
The fastest spreading worm ever was 'MyDoom'. First released in January 2004, it was distributed by e-mail and contained the message "andy; I'm just doing my job, nothing personal, sorry."
The author was never been discovered, but many believe it was designed to attack software company SCO (Santa Cruz Operation). Programmed to flood SCO's web site with Internet traffic, it quickly spread to the Internet at large causing a world-wide slowdown.
For individual computer users, the worm's payload is the biggest threat. Payloads can be designed to work around computer Protection by turning off antivirus functions or opening up computer ports. Ports are used by network software to move data in and out. Once done, the computer is open to data theft or malicious acts such as deleting files.
De-Worming
Firewalls are moderately effective in protecting your computer against worms. They can be set up to restrict network traffic and can help to 'cloak' your computer. If your computer can't be 'seen' it can't be infected with worms which spread over networks.
However, worms are also distributed in e-mail attachments so use caution when opening mail from unknown recipients or when someone known sends unexpected files.
Despite your best precautions, your system may become infected. You may notice your computer acting sluggish or rebooting on its own. Internet access may become very slow.
If you suspect your computer is infected with a worm, scan your system with antivirus software. If it fails to remove the worm, instructions for manual removal can be found on the Internet.

Windows XP wont boot!?
This is a used Ibm ThinkPad (t42) I think Its a used computer my mom bought back in september What wrong with it is that it turns on goes to the starting options list when you pick one it starts up goes to the window xp loading and then cuts to this blue screen shutsoff and does the saething over again un till you hit the power but when it make a loud beeping noise and turns off what does this mean
If you are getting a Blue Screen before the computer shuts off, it means that one or more hardware drivers are corrupt. The best way to fix the problem is to borrow an XP disk and reinstall the program. You will be asked to PRESS ANY KEY TO BOOT FROM CD... to load XP. Depress the space bar then wait until XP loads all basic programs. It will ask if you wish to install or repair XP using remote boot disks. Since you do not have the disks, choose install. XP will then ask if you wish to install on the Primary Drive (which is usually C) or run REPAIR. Choose Repair to reinstall the drivers. Wait until XP is done and see if this fixes your problem.
If it does not, rerun XP but this time choose INSTALL. XP will complain but you need to re-install the whole operating system. When prompted, choose L for Last Partition and follow the prompts to install XP again. Have your Product Code ready and follow all prompts when Windows comes up. The whole process will take about 90 minutes. You will then have to find a way to get onto the internet to reinstall any remaining drivers, such as printers, web cam and Network Card drivers to get onto the internet. Once you have the Ethernet (Network) driver installed, you can activate Windows.
