UNITED NATIONS – An estimated 100,000 people were displaced from their homes in the Philippines during 2006 as a result of armed conflict and human right abuses," the United Nations said this month.

It said the main displacement movements occurred in the southernmost island of Mindanao where, in two separate incidents, close to 70,000 people were forced from their homes in Maguindanao province following clashes between Muslim separatist rebels and security forces.

Most viruses are written with a malicious intent, so that they can cause damage to programs and data in addition to spreading themselves. Viruses infect existing programs to alter the behavior of programs, actively destroy data, and perform actions on storage devices that render their stored data inaccessible.

Computer viruses attack the software of a computer such as operating systems, data files, application software, and e-mails. However, viruses do not affect the computer hardware.

Viruses infect computers and spread themselves using various methods. Some viruses attach themselves to a common program such as a popular game or word processor. When a person downloads the infected game and runs it, the attached virus program gets executed. The virus then loads itself into memory and searches for any other program on the disk. If the virus finds any program, it modifies the program by adding the malicious code to the program. The next time this program gets executed, it infects other programs, and the cycle continues thereafter.
