Plug a Windows computer into your network and you will need some sort of anti-virus program to keep your computer functioning properly and your data safe. To most of us the anti-virus program is that little icon that sits in the system tray that chugs along help to keeping the computer and your data safe, it updates, generates alerts occasionally but we don't give it too much thought. However, behind that icon is an interesting story an ongoing battle between malware authors and anti-virus companies. Recently I got the chance to visit McAfee's Research Labs in Aylesbury, England. I don't normally cover Windows topics, but this was too interesting to miss.
