As non-government organizations (NGOs), community development organizations require a lot of assistance in the technology sector, as their primary focus is on assisting the people who they seek to assist.

The Virus
April First is always a bad time of year for computer viruses, and this past April Fool's Day is no different. You may have read articles recently about a virus called Conficker. Despite the amount of media attention that Conficker has received over recent weeks, millions of computers worldwide continue to be infected by the virus.

If you are a Microsoft Windows user, like most people, chances are good that you have experienced the frustration of having a computer virus. Viruses can be obtained many ways. The most common way is through an email attachment. When you receive an email that contains a virus as an attachment, and you open that attachment, the virus will then install itself onto your computer, and will then usually exploit your Address Book to send an email (from your email address) to all of your contacts. This is unfortunate, as all of your contacts will receive an email that they think is from you.

Introduction
Taking care of your computer is very important if you want to be able to use it to its full potential. At the least, it is necessary to be aware that as computers, anything can go wrong with them at any time. That is why it is important to make regular backups of your important data (Word Documents, etc...). Even if your hardware doesn't crash, your Operating System could always get a virus without you even being aware (especially if you are running Microsoft Windows). For this reason, I strongly advise to do what you can to protect your information.

WRONG!!!
