Module 6: Policy and Ethical Issues Related to IT

One of the new things that I learned in this module has to do with the different levels of computer threat. Worms, viruses, logic bombs, trojan horses, and bacteria. My computer is just as vulnerable to disease as a human. And just as a healthy immune system protects us from pathogens, so to does well designed software, firewalls, strong passwords and anti-virus software protect our computers from threat. But, probably it is also up to good luck...
