How It Works: Cloud Computing and Virus Removal

For the first How It Works post here at 3007hq, we'll be doing a double feature; cloud computer and virus removal!

The term "cloud computing" is being thrown around a lot these days. And so are Google and Apple's name when its mentioned. But most people have only a very basic idea of what is really going to be involved, and what the benefits are. HowStuffWorks has a great article explaining what cloud computing is, how it works, why Google and Apple are always mentioned, and why you should care!

Next, in the spirit of the conficker worm, here is a very helpful article (again from HowStuffWorks), detailing the differences between viruses, worms, and trojans, and how to remove them from your system. And, since 1 in 5 machines is still vulnerable to the conficker worm, chances are that some of you will end up needing this info very soon.
