Vector Graphics
Vector graphics use computer algorithms to describe shapes, lines, animation, etc. The technology of
vector graphics is growing in popularity because the images are scalable and smaller in file size, a plus for online viewing and downloading. Vector graphics were developed in response to the limitations of
raster-based graphics (popularly known as GIF and JPEG) because raster graphics use pixel-by-pixel
definitions.

Virgin Wool

Virus
A program which replicates itself on computer systems by incorporating itself into other programs
that are shared on a system. Most often thought of as "malicious" viruses are best known for "spreading
overnight from one computer to millions of others around the world" and infecting machines causing
them to crash. It is important that you take precautions against viruses, for example: get a virus
scan program such as the one below, and don't open any e-mail attachments from people you don't know.
