oh my... you're looking for pictures of these things so you can do a
presentation on computer security?

if you're looking for pictures then i think you're not the right person
to do the presentation because you obviously don't understand what they
are...

lets start off with:

virus - a program (what picture comes to mind when you think of a
program?... some things just don't lend themselves to being visualized)...

firewall - a technology for controlling the flow of traffic at network
interface boundaries... some are programs, other are physical devices
(like say a router or in some cases an entire computer)...

anti-spamming - this term doesn't even make sense... further definition
is required...

spyware - again a program...

vulnerability - a bug or oversight in a program (so it's even harder to
picture than a program)...

parental control - a preventative feature in a program (also harder to
picture than a program)...
