Trojans, worms, viruses, spyware, phishing, there are many different types of malicious cyber attacks that can infect or just affect your computer.  Note that these terms do overlap somewhat, and often the designation between the types of attacks is quite blurry.  Most can be taken care of with a fully updated anti-virus program, but some cannot be protected, and ultimately the anti-virus program obeys the user's commands and will happily ignore a malicious file if so ordered.  These pages contain a basic overview of the types of attacks that you may experience on your computer.
