Professional ethics vs. ethics in general?

Ways professional ethics (computer ethics) differ from ethics in general?

They don't. One is either ethical or not. There is not a different set of ethics 'in general' vs professional situations.

There is a difference between "ethics" and "morals"- Morals are the way you treat yourself, ethics are the way you treat other people. You can be an ethical person in your dealings with others (truthful, respectful, honorable etc.) but have low or no morals when it comes to yourself (doing drugs, engaging in risky or harmful behavior, etc.). You can also have different sets of "ethical rules" depending on who you are interacting with- I've known people who were excellent businessmen and treated their employees very well, but treated their wives and families like crap. So I would say it is possible to have computer or business ethics that are different from the ethics usually used in day-to-day situations.
