The Swatch.b virus is a Word 97 macro virus. It contains three macros: AutoOpen, RepToDocs, and RepToNormal. Besides this type of file, there is another type of macro FileSave present. [br][br]The way this virus works is different. When the infected is opened, the virus will create an archive called Tmp.bas. This archive will be placed on the C: drive. Once it creates the archive to the C: drive, the virus imports a temporary file into normal.dot. This causes many documents that are opened by Word to get infected. After one document is infected, the virus deletes the Tmp.bas file. The good part about this file is that it does not contain any destructive nature. [br][br]

A computer crash can occur at anytime and on any computer.

By backing up your files--personal documents, financial records, and digital pictures--you can ensure that you will never loose your precious and irreplaceable information.

There are many ways one can back up a computer: special equipment or online programs, which are becoming increasingly popular, can help you to create a sort of 'insurance policy' for the protection of all of your computer-based data.
