I also hope that no one has been living in a closet to not know that the most prolific spam and virus monster to travel the Internet in quite some time is making it's rounds disguised as a "Greeting Card from a Friend"…etc.
Since completing my recent whirl-wind conference schedule, I have been battling a severe throat infection that just won't go away.

A virus is a program that replicates itself. It cannot exist on its own so it attaches to another program, usually an executable one. A worm is like a virus—it also replicates itself. However, it can stand on its own and does not need another program to run. It usually infects your computer’s networking features, which includes its internet connection.
