Article Abstract:
Potential computer viruses affecting Microsoft products are a persistent worry lurking behind the antitrust issues affecting that corporation which often headline the news. Most viruses are written to run on Windows since Microsoft software is the most widespread. Some users think anti-virus programs solve the problem, but problems such as not upgrading virus programs can weaken protection. For law firms, the "macro" virus, introduced with Office 95, is the Microsoft virus causing the most damage.
