CNET has launched the CNET Security Center (http://security.cnet.com), a free and comprehensive source of antivirus and Internet security information dedicated to helping consumers safely surf the web and protect their computers against harmful viruses, spyware and adware. In addition to expert, unbiased reviews, links to important downloads from CNET Download.com and others, plus help and how-to videos, the CNET Security Center also includes:
• Virus Hot Zones: A community forum where users can share stories about viruses they’ve encountered and how they defeated those unwanted attacks.
• Virus Threat Watch: A daily rating that represents the current threat level on the Internet ranging from low to extreme. Information is gathered from a variety of public and private computer security sources, and also reflects a combined level of malicious activity on the Internet or the presence of a new computer virus or worm.
