What is a virus?
Malicious software, typically called 'viruses', are programs designed to
infect and damage computers. Most viruses are transmitted over the
Internet, emails or malicious Web sites. A typical virus will replicate
and pass itself undetected to multiple computers. Other forms of
nuisance, such as Trojan horses, worms or spam can infect your
computer in various ways, using up resources or clogging up a
network.
Note: Gateway guarantees that your computer was 100% virus
free at the time of purchase and does not cover damages due to

What is spyware?
Spyware refers to generally unwanted programs that are downloaded
onto your computer while connected to the Internet, often without
you knowing it. Once it has infected your computer, it can snoop on
your browsing activity, collect personal information, cause pop-up ads
to appear, or even change the configuration of your computer.
