Sources of virus infections

Table 8 illustrates changes in the most typical sources of computer virus infections. Mainly two of these sources express reflects develop in computer technologies and their interaction with our society. In 1992 disks are the most probably way to infect a computer, and almost nobody receive a virus as an electronic mail attachment. However, ten years later the trends actually changes. An e-mail is the most likelihood door to infect a computer, while use of diskettes decrease yearly, so it decreases as a source of virus infections. If this tendency is projecting to our days, most of the efforts to prevent a virus must be directed to prevent infections trough e-mails. Probably, in the same sense that develops as the electronic mail change the patrons of viruses’ distributions in the last decades, today the advances in cloud computing could produce a new scenario for the combat against computer virus infections.
