Yes. Viruses are spread through many different methods, not just Web Browsers. Web browsers also do not usually offer robust anti-virus protection. At best, they can check a file you are currently downloading for viruses. This means that if you use any other method for putting data on your computer, such as a peer to peer program or a Flash drive, a virus can still make it onto your system.

What are your options in dealing with virus attacks?

If your computer is attacked by a virus, try running your anti-virus program so that it can be removed. If you don't already have a program installed, you can do a web search to find one. Malwarebytes and Spybot are two popular programs. However, there are viruses that prevent computer users from using or installing anti-virus programs. If that happens, you may need to do a fresh install of your operating system. This may erase important files.

What will happen if you try to use two different web browsers on the same computer?

In theory, there shouldn't be any problems at all. I routinely use two or more browsers at the same time. It is the same as having your browser and your mail program open at the same time. As long as you have enough bandwidth and a fast enough processor in your computer, there should be no problems at all. Try it and see.

How can I find out how to remove spyware?

Removing spyware from your computer is easier than you think. The best way to remove spyware is to get at least two virus scanners installed onto your computer. Most people say one is enough, but in my exprience as a IT manager, most of the time one virus scanner won't stuff that another one finds. Thus I recommend having two. The two I use at my company is ESET NOD 32 and MALWARE BYTES. You have to pay for ESET, but you can download Malware Bytes at www.download.com - Simply install the software packages and then run a virus scan. The two scanners will find viruses, trojans, spyware, and any other infected files on your computer. You can just sit back and let the scanners do all the work for you. After they find the viruses, you can request them to delete it off your computer, thus healing your computer.
