Taking a Look at Computer Viruses

A Virus is a piece of malicious code that has the intent to damage your system.

Antivirus is programming program that outline to make PC gradually in light of the fact that programmer can be take the secret word and furthermore the records can be erase frame desktop and imperative things like video and picture there case about that treats, worms and Trojans.

Let’s say user (A) download an execution file (EXE) on his-her PC and double click on that file, if this file is infected the virus works based on the written code by the hacker/ attacker/ intruder and copy some files into the system. In case, user (A) does not have virus protection, the virus works perfect in destroying that computer or sending information from this computer to the attacker email. Viruses not only designed to destroy PC’s, but also designed to get information from

Computer virus is a program that can copy itself and infect a computer without the permission or knowledge of the user. Viruses perform some type of harmful activity such as accessing private information or corrupting

Kevin, althought you made good points I think you are making this more confusing than it is. I'm not talking about what a object contains, but what is made up of and live in. For example, we live in air and their is air in our body, not like a fish in a fish tank. That is why I dissigree with you and I think that viruses are alive.

Most people would say that there are two different versions of viruses. One version of viruses infects people's computers and completely ruins them (which personally happens to me way to often, by the way), but the other version of viruses is a lot more deadly. These viruses affect all sorts of living things and could cause them to get very sick. Viruses replicate themselves inside an organism's living cells and they then spread to other organisms. Viruses usually spread in a similar fashion to how if you have the flu and you cough on somebody, then they will get sick as well. According to a website called Virology Blog, we do not consider viruses to be living things because, quite frankly, viruses are passive and do not fit the definition

Viruses and worms are malicious programs that self-replicate on computers or through computer systems without the user being cognizant. Worms are a series programs that repeat themselves from system to system minus the use of a host fie. Worms use methods to infiltrate remote computers and launch replicas of themselves like email messages or coping files to an accessible disk. A computer virus is a

Computer viruses are minute program which is “embedded inside an application or within a data file which can copy itself into another program“(Adams et al, 2008 ) for the sole determination of meddling with normal computer operations. The consequences may range from corruption and deletion of data; propagation of virus on to network and deployment through attachments through emails in order to further creating havoc to all associated computing devices.

An invisible organism enters your body. It penetrates into your tissues and then takes over the machinery in your own cells to make more copies of itself. This tiny infiltrator works silently, producing thousands of these clones that fill up the cell and cause it to explode. The clones mercilessly continue the process of invading, taking over and destroying cells. The result might be a minor inconvenience to you as the host, or it could result in a slow or rapid death. It depends only on which variant of this unwanted infiltrator overcomes your body’s defenses. There are cures to wipe out some types of these invisible intruders, but others are so difficult to eradicate or so readily adaptable, that the world’s greatest scientists

To understand the business of malware, one must understand how malware has evolved in the past twenty-five years. Malware, which includes all kinds of malicious software, was originally created to show the weaknesses of computers. The first type of malware, created in 1986, was a virus called “Brain.A. Brain.A was developed in Pakistan, by two brothers - Basit and Amjad. They wanted to prove that PC is not secure platform, so they created virus that was replicating using floppy disks” (Milošević). Even today malware is still used to check the security of machines.

E-mailed Viruses are harder to avoid. Opening an attached file can trigger them or by touching the message that contains the attached file and then the file menu bar of the E-mail program. (Email Hole Exposes Computers) The seconded way to start a virus is because of a hole in Netscape’s mail program and also MS’s Outlook. A new way for Viruses to be spread by E-mail is to put the whole code for the virus in the subject line that way when the computer read the subject line it unwittingly activated the virus. The newest way for people to get viruses is through the web pages. This is done by putting the virus code into a script on the web page, now when the page is accessed the viruses executes the viruses code. (Virus Thrives on HTML) This can make a virus very prolific if a lot of people visit the web page.

Network viruses are another favorite method of cyber criminals. As we all know, viruses can bring a network to

There are special viruses that creates different types of malicious problems on a network or computer, for instance it will create or open programs to perform tasks. Viruses is also used for denial of service attacks, password cracking and many more. This can be fought against by having a reliable protection service; it is safer if this is taken from the provider itself.

Computer viruses physically and mentally make me scared. First of all, there are many different types of computer viruses which include spyware, malware, trojan, etc. When there is many different types of something that I fear, then that makes it twice as worse. They completely take over and can damage
