"Educating the users Graham Cluley mentions in VB Magazine, Jan 2002:'we can expect to see more RAT's (Remote Access Trojans) exploiting the increasing number of home users permanently connected to the Internet.' I think this is becoming a larger problem as the world gets connected. But how do we educate the users, not just at home but in the office? The Open University in the UK is running a 'short course program' at degree level, in computed related studies and they are run over 10 - 12 weeks, with examinable components to the course. By May 2004 it is proposed to have a short course on 'Malware' available to complement its other IT courses. The idea is to give those students studying computing related courses a view of the 'Flipside' of this technological wonder. This paper will examine the approach taken, the content envisaged and the intended 'Learning Outcomes' in relation to a first level degree course while trying to tackle the increasing problem of 'Educating The Masses' in relation to Malware.
