As our society becomes more dependent on information, the value of that information increases, not only to the businesses who own it, but to the criminals who wish to gain profit from stealing it. It is believed by many security experts that social engineering will remain the greatest threat to any security system.

One of the most challenging aspects that we deal with is viruses, spybots, malware and spyware.

• Viruses are malicious programs that sneak into your computer network, usually via e-mail, and alter or destroy computers.
• Spybots are programs from the web that try to take over your browser and can cause serious damage to your operating system. Spybots includes cookies, e-mail trackers, programs that insert themselves into your start up group, and malicious web pages. When they get into your system, they send information to a server and upload where you go on the internet and/or your personal information including your credit card information, and passwords. Eventually, if you do not have them removed, it could kill your computer.
• Malware is software designed to infiltrate or damage a computer system without the owner's informed consent.
• Many normal computer users are however still unfamiliar with the term, and most never use it. Instead, "computer virus" is used in common parlance and often in the general media to describe all kinds of malware, though not all malware are viruses.
• Software is considered malware based on the perceived intent of the creator rather than any particular features. It includes computer viruses, worms, trojan horses, most rootkits, spyware, dishonest adware, and other malicious and unwanted software. In law, malware is sometimes known as a computer contaminant, for instance in the legal codes of California, West Virginia, and several other American states.
• Since the rise of widespread broadband Internet access, more malicious software has been designed for a profit motive. For instance, since 2003, the majority of widespread viruses and worms have been designed to take control of users' computers for black-market exploitation. Infected "zombie computers" are used to send email spam, to host contraband data such as child pornography, or to engage in distributed denial-of-service attacks as a form of extortion.
• Another strictly for-profit category of malware has emerged in spyware programs designed to monitor users' web browsing, display unsolicited advertisements, or redirect affiliate marketing revenues to the spyware creator. Spyware programs do not spread like viruses; they are generally installed by exploiting security holes or are packaged with user-installed software, such as Kazaa.
