Abstract:
Today, the effects of computer virus cannot be undermined as it has become a major threat to both computer professionals and users alike. Undoubtedly, rapid development in information technology has also aided the advent of computer virus through huge clusters of computer networks and communication links. Over the years, anti-virus softwares have been on the fore-front in the fight against the spread of computer viruses which have proved to be effective. However, The researchers believe that prevention remains the best measure for protection. A descriptive survey design was used for the study to analyze the existing system which concentrates more on curative measures other than preventive measures. Several techniques were adopted such as careful observation of the existing system on fighting computer viruses, collection of relevant information from the internet. Agile development methodology was employed in developing a design process for the proposed system. Visual ASP DOT NET programming language 2008 Express Edition was chosen as the language of development with MY SQL database as the back end. The expected result is a web-based information system that will adopt a viral marketing approach in spreading preventive measures regarding best operational practices, safe internet browsing and other educative measures that will reduce vulnerability of computer users to its minimum.
