    It is necessary securing your computer and know the threats, it is true that the malware authors have designed to infect PCs to make money (eg by renting part of their botnet comprising of PCs infected by displaying pop ups advertising or selling fake antispyware called rogues). It is stated that the malware authors are online every day thousands of new variants of the same families of malware variants that will be when they will be posted not very well detected by antivirus software up when they have added to their databases.

    Each day your system gets exposed to virus and newer threats. Finally, and to reach a maximum of internet, malware authors use various modes of propagation (false cracks, banner ads infectious Exploits on hacked Web sites) etc. Each day, therefore, the probability that you are a infected are more or less strong according to various criteria. In general, adolescents are most vulnerable because they use programs or sites very popular with malware authors aim to reach a maximum of surfers: MSN, social networking sites (Facebook, MySpace etc).

    Teens often install software fashion (emoticons etc..), The malware authors are then online programs of this type of course they are trapped, etc. The three criteria favoring infection are, Download any file or click on any links, Have a system and software not updated and the last one is Be careful not critical and not proposals of files, links (and a bit naive). The cracks ... if there is one major vector of malware are the cracks. Just for malware authors to trick the user easily to upload thousands of fake cracks either directly by P2P or through fake download sites.

    Some malware are directly online P2P false cracks, for example with Bagle, TR / Proxy.Horst, fake website of cracks: Zlob and cracks etc. P2P is the malware security, you download unknown files from unknown sources, for the average user who does not know the difference between a real crack or a fake crack. With any luck the antivirus will detect it.
