So, are you paranoid yet?

Hopefully many of the people who read this blog are wise enough to run anti-virus software on their computers at least once a week. Particularly active net-users tend to pick up a trojan virus or two when they go web surfing, while others may make the mistake of downloading an unknown attachment in a seemingly innocuous email. However smart PC/Mac users should always know to scan new files for viruses, especially if the source of the files is not well-known.

According to an article over at TopTechNews.com, you may want to run your anti-virus software after installing a name-brand product. The article, called "Some Viruses Come Pre-Installed," talks in length about how big-name products such as iPods or GPS devices can occasionally come prepackaged with viruses. It's real scary stuff, but a great read.
