Where to find the latest threats on computers?

Asked By Kevin Bell 210 points N/A Posted on - 06/04/2011

I've been looking for a genuine website where I can get up to date information on the latest threats on computers. I don't want to see the actual threats but some sort of report about it like what others are experiencing.

They say prevention is better than cure. So it would be very helpful if I am able to find what's new and how to avoid those threats. Right now, I am using this link. Please let me know if you have something better than the link I have provided. Your suggestions would be most appreciated.

Thank you.

Where to find the latest threats on computers?

First, I must say that watching reports of the latest virus threats would be pretty tiresome. This is because you have to visit the site every day, or you have to refresh the browser every now and then.

After reading your problem, I would say the best thing to do to make your life easier is to install a virus scanner or an Antivirus.

Each Antivirus software has a virus definition that is being updated always. And this is done automatically.

 

But then, if you really want to keep on looking at the web pages of the latest threats, you can find some in the following sites:

 

ESET Virusradar

 

Kaspersky Virus Watch

 

BitDefender Virus Encyclopedia

 

There are enumerates virus threats on some sites.

You just have to click on the sorting column to make the updated threat to be displayed at the top.
