What is a good foal deworming program?
Most foals don't need to be dewormed until they start eating grass on pasture; even then, provided the adult horses have been regularly dewormed there isn't much need for a foal to be dewormed. I would suggest not developing a standard program, but rather working with your veterinarian to address worming issues as needed in specific foals.
Why it is necessary to reboot after virus scan?
A scan can leave your computer with small free spaces in it. When you reboot it puts all your file in a space free pattern. Which will makes it run faster and smother.

What is a virus and how to protect yourself from it
A computer virus is a small program that infects a computer without the user permission. It attaches itself to other files and quickly multiplies.
It is strongly recommended that you use an antivirus program on your computer and that you keep it updated. This will prevent any infection and clean your computer if it was infected previous to the install.
You are infected with a virus if:
- Your computer is very slow, stops responding, restarts or shuts down by itself from time to time.
- Your hard disk or the removable drives (floppy drive, CD-ROM, USB Flash) are inaccesibles or the files are corrupt.
- Unusual error messages appear.
In case your computer got infected, try the following:
- Get an antivirus program (if you don't have one already)
- Update your antivirus
- Scan all your computer and delete, repair or quarantine the infected files.
To keep your computer virus free:
- Have an antivirus program and update it from time to time (some even update automatically)
- Use a firewall.
- Only download files from sources you trust.
- Don't open e-mail attachments, unless you know who sent it.
- For more protection you can scan your computer with online scanners provided free by some of the best companies.
- Run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
- Run the anti spyware removal programs spybot and Superantispyware
- Run a complete scan with free curing utility Dr.Web CureIt!

What are Different forms or types of electronic infection?
There are four common forms of electronic infection, 1. Viruses - A virus is a small piece of software that piggybacks on real programs. A virus can attach itself to a program like a text editor program (like MS Word). Each time the program runs, the virus runs as well, gaining the opportunity to reproduce (by attaching to other applications like Excel or Outlook) and then wreak havoc. 2. An 'email virus' travels within email messages, and replicates itself by automatically self-mailing to dozens of people in the YOUR email address book. 3. A 'worm' is a small piece of software that uses computer networks and security holes to replicate itself. The worm scans the network for another machine that has a specific security hole. It copies itself to the new machine using the security hole, and replicates from there. 4 A 'Trojan horse' is an average computer program. It claims to do one thing (e.g. - it claims to be a game, or a calendar, or a weather monitor) but instead does damage when you run it (e.g. - it erases your hard disk, or more likely, runs spy-ware). Trojan horses have no way to replicate automatically.
