Windows vulnerabilities - open ports in your computer through which viruses including trojan horses can go in.

Anti-virus software is vital software for any PC. This software protects your computer from malicious files (computer viruses, worm files) that attempt to load themselves on to your machine and carry out commands, damage data, reproduce themselves, and infect other machines. Anti-virus software should be regularly updated and set to work actively, preventing computer infections by these malicious programs.

The H5N1 virus can improve its ability to infect humans when "reassortment" occurs, resulting in a new virus with enhanced human transmissibility. This is caused by an exchange of genetic material between human and avian influenza viruses when a human becomes infected with both at the same time. Pigs may also serve as "mixing vessels" for this exchange and then transmit the new virus to humans. Such an event would be announced by a sudden surge of cases with explosive spread.
