The war between virus writers and anti-virus writers seems to be never ending, rather it is becoming more sophisticated. One security expert in an anti-virus company told me that virus writing is now not a field of hobbyists but it is now a part of organized crime and is well funded. It is obvious as no hobbyist can devote full day writing a sophisticated malware and keep releasing variants.
While this chase seems to be never ending and no fool-proof protection to deal with this crime, a limited hope is left with user-awareness. Users who don't have professional connection with data-security in one way or the other, often neglect it. This user base becomes the prime target and also the source for further infections. Unknowingly this type of users work as a fuel for the fire.
Today, each and every user is connected to the digital world in one way or the other. Until and unless we start taking care of our digital assets by keeping ourselves informed with the digital security tips and technologies, there is no way out. As I said before, you are unknowingly becoming a source for further damage.
