TO answer your questions go to:
www.symantec.com
and check out their Antivirus Research Center. It has answers to your questions as well as a dictionary of current viruses. To protect your copmuter get a good antivirus program, of which their are several, keep the virus definitions updated. I am currently using AVG on one system. It seems to be doing a fairly good job, but then I am careful about what I download and open.
A personal firewall has been mentioned as has PestPatrol. PestPatrol can clean up some things that an AV program might miss. A firewall supposedly is supposed to keep the malicious code from getting to your PC in the first place.
