Google Fights Biological Viruses

Google, which works diligently to defend computers from viruses, also is funding efforts to protect people from viruses.

Computer Virus Infections via USB Spreading in Japan

When computers at Internet cafés and other public places get infected with new types of viruses, they are copied to USB devices plugged into them. The viruses then spread to other computers the USB is plugged into and start running a malicious program. These viruses are capable of attacking portable music players and IC recorders as well.

Wild birds carry avian flu viruses to U.S.: report

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Migrating waterfowl may be carrying avian influenza viruses from Asia to the Americas, U.S. government researchers reported on Tuesday.

'Cheshire Cat' Escape Strategy In Response To Marine Viruses

A novel defence strategy displayed in response to marine viruses by some of the most abundant unicellular organisms found in our oceans has recently been demonstrated by researchers in the Laboratoire Adaptation et diversité en milieu marin (CNRS, UPMC) working in collaboration with other European scientists.

Canon Announces 5D Mark II DSLR... FINALLY!

SonicWALL provides multi-layer defense against viruses. This approach protects users from known viruses as well as new, unique outbreaks.

Virus Infections via USB Increasing

Many companies are trying to prevent leakage of personal and classified information by building independent networks isolated from the Internet, as viruses are often transmitted via files attached to e-mail or those on the Internet. However, USB drives are often used on unspecified computers, so viruses can immediately spread.

Virus Infections via USB Drives Increasing Sharply

Many companies are trying to prevent leakage of personal and classified information by building independent networks isolated from the Internet, as viruses are often transmitted via files attached to e-mail or those on the Internet. However, USB drives are often used on unspecified computers, so viruses can immediately spread.

Protection for Mac and Linux Computers: Genuine Need or Nice to Have?

The sheer number of desktops, laptops, and servers running Windows makes them an easy and readily available target for malware writers and spammers. Assessment of an organization's requirements for protection against viruses, spy-ware, Trojans, and worms has therefore tended to concentrate on the Windows environment. Meanwhile, the current risk to computers running non-Windows platforms is small but growing. As Mac and Linux computers become more prevalent within organizations, they are likely to become more of a target for hackers as a way in to the rest of the network and a means of infecting websites. Read this whitepaper to learn more about the real threat from non-Windows platforms, the dangers of their distributing Windows viruses, the implications of their growing popularity, and the regulatory pressure to protect them.

Natural protein vaults for nanotechnology cargo applications

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Spheres can be found at all scales in both the inanimate and living world for the basic physical property of encapsulation. The protein shell of a virus (called a capsid), for example, encloses space by using the geometry of the icosahedron, thus exploiting the economy of this form in terms of both surface area-to-volume ratio and genetic efficiency of subunit-based symmetric assembly. Many viruses' capsids use icosahedral symmetry to form particles ranging from 20 to 200 nanometers in size. This makes viruses an attractive research subject for exploring their use as nano-containers for drug delivery applications.

Mac Viruses Continue to Lag Behind Windows Counterparts

imac virusQuite a few software makers routinely release Windows versions ahead of Mac flavors — Skype, Google Chrome and Adobe Photoshop Elements to name a few — and now it seems that poor Mac users can’t even get a decent virus that’s on par with the threats Windows users face.

Google to fight viruses

Search giant Google has announced that it will invest more than $14 million (£7 million) in the global fight against diseases such as bird flu, HIV, malaria and tuberculosis.

Google takes on real viruses

The search giant Google has pledged to fund research aimed at detecting and preventing virulent new diseases

Google.org Battles Bugs & Viruses

Google.org, the philanthropic arm of Google (NASDAQ:GOOG), has announced grants of more than $14 million to support partners working in Southeast Asia and Africa to prevent the next pandemic. Google.org's Predict and Prevent initiative is supporting efforts to identify hot spots where diseases may emerge, detect new pathogens circulating in animal and human populations, and respond to outbreaks before they become global crises. Several new lethal infectious diseases crop up every year. Examples include the well-known killers, HIV/AIDS, bird flu, and SARS, as well as drug-resistant strains of ancient scourges malaria and tuberculosis. Three-quarters of new diseases are zoonoses, meaning they've jumped from animals to humans.

Forced evolution: Can we mutate viruses to death?

It sounds like a science fiction movie: A killer contagion threatens the Earth, but scientists save the day with a designer drug that forces the virus to mutate itself out of existence. The killer disease? Still a fiction. The drug? It could become a reality thanks to a new study by Rice University bioengineers.
