Asked by erianne

new computer viruses and other types of malware are released all the time. Identify a current virus or worm (most security companies, such as Symantec and McAfee, list the most recent security threats on their Web sites) and asnswer the following questions: When was it introduced? What does it do? How is it spread? How many computers have been affected so far? Is there an estimated cost associated with it? Is it still in existence? At the conclusion of your research prepare a one page summary of your findings.

Once you identify the virus or worm you want to research, then you'll need to use good researching skills -- and remember that it involves searching AND re-searching.
