HATTIE: (voiceover) I learned more about viruses from Art Wong, vice president of Symantec Security Response. Symantec is famous for its Norton anti-virus software which sits on 120 million desktops world wide. This company is another force for good helping us fight the bad and the ugly.

ART WONG: Best practice is you shouldn't open attachments from people you don't know or it is unusual to receive emails regarding a particular topic or with particular attachments. You should always be wary and very diligent about who you are getting email from, what you're reading and what you're opening. To prevent a lot of it, if you have good up to date anti-virus software it will stop most viruses that people get.

ART: People who go on the Internet and use email and surf, they don't deserve to be broken into they don't deserve to get worms or blended threats. As a first step, all they have to do is install some common sense software they can get anywhere to keep them from getting viruses or blended threats.

HATTIE: We can't be too busy to do this. ART: We have to stop and do it today. It doesn't take very much time at all. It's actually pretty simple.
