Overview:

In this interview, Peter Szor, author of The Art of Computer Virus Research and Defense, shares his thoughts on the changing scope of computer viruses, especially with regard to the increasing financial motivation of virus programmers. Properly defending against computer attacks requires a tremendous amount or research and a thorough understanding of how computer virus attacks occur. Learn more about the evolution of virus attacks and how Szor debunks the myth that merely changing browsers will sufficiently safeguard Internet-enabled computers.

In addition to this interview with Szor, TechRepublic also offers an excerpt from his book The Art of Computer Virus Research and Defense, Chapter 9: Strategies of Computer Worms, as a free download.
