We are pleased to provide this comprehensive section on computer viruses, an ever present threat for all computer owners.

Please consult the Trend Micro Virus Encyclopaedia for information about a specific computer virus.

If your computer suffers the misfortune to become infected with a computer virus, many leading anti-virus software manufacturers including Symantec, AVG and Avast provide FREE! virus removal tools.
