Intermediate - Advanced Level Users.
Malicious Mobile Code is destructive, self-replicating code, such as a virus or worm that is loaded onto a computer without the user's knowledge and runs against the user's wishes. Even a simple virus can quickly use all available memory and bring a system to a halt.
A work is a special type of virus that can replicate itself and use memory, but cannot attach itself to other programs. The Melissa worm and the Love Bug virus both are examples of the malicious mobile code that is increasingly challenging the resources of both system administrators and home users.
This book will arm your customers with the strategies, tips and tricks they need to secure their systems. They'll learn what malicious mobile code can and can't do and how to recognise it, remove it, and prevent it from damaging their systems.
