Computer viruses: How much do you know?

 Everyone knows about computer viruses, or at least they think they do.

Want to know your Botnet from your Backdoor?  Your Denial-of-service attack from your DNS hijack?  What's the difference between social engineering and social networking?

Scareware, Ransonware and mobile malware.  Spyware, spam and spoofing.  Viruses and vulnerabilities.  Email and exploits.  Hacktivism, hoaxes and honeypots.  Drive-by downloads and much much more.

It's all explained - in simple language - in the Sophos Threatsaurus along with lots of tips for staying safe online and even a malware timeline (1981 Apple virus, 1982 Apple virus with side effects).

Too much to read in one go?  Download/print/share the free calendars and wallpaper
