Web Security
Virus-W32/Randon is a web page about a virus that I discovered on my computer. The virus scanning software that I use did not catch it. I was clearing out my root directory of files that were put there by various accidents and I found one named rrr.exe. I opened it with Winzip (why?) and it looked very suspicious. As I read the contents of the files, I realized it was a virus. Then I searched the internet for this file name and found this page. But how did I know to use Winzip?
