Are Windows always the target?
When Bill started MSDOS it was a revolutionary development and later some people complained that it was difficult to use because is was a CLI type which required many commands to remember and some to know by heart. Al of a sudden malicious softwares were created and till date only Windows are getting affected by these codes.
No known virus that has ever affected Lunix, Unix, and Aple OS systems till today. I know almost all these codes are executable or batch files which Windows mostly is built on. Why hackers do not target the other systems other than windows? Though Microsoft alway patches their softwaes and provide update almost dailly but the viruses are still affecting their system almostly every time.
Windows are so easy to use because they are Graphical User Interface(GUI). It just click click click more, you do not have to think, microsoft has created everything for you. The other sytems are difficult to use, trust me on that one, some take even years to master linux. Exe and Bat files are what make the communication between Windows and malicious codes so easy. Though introducing GUI on MSDOS was a smart move for Bill but it also pave the way fro threats.

Are you secured?
Some people when get internet connection they bcome too excited to an extent that they even forget to secure their system from outsiders. These outsiders can be intruders or mllisious softwares, whom or which might try to take control of your sytem on even crashed it. When we talk about intruder the first people who come into mind are hacker, and incase of malisious software it can be viruses, trap doors, trojan horsse, logical bombs, and so forth.
To be protected from intruders consider the ff:
Never use a weak password, your passoword should be atleast in alfanumeric formet.
Most hackers try to gain access to the sytem via IP address and opened unattended port. So try to close all the unused port and implement security in all those that are being used often.
Incase of malisious software:
try to implement software restriction policy that prevent any unknown or sign script to be runed on your system.
Hope you will now secure your systems.
