Computer VIRUSES

By Tony Robinson

A Computer virus is a program - a piece of executable code - that has the possibly of cloning itself. Computer viruses can spread fast and they are hard to eradicate. They can be attached to any type of file and they are spread as files copied and sent from person to person. They can be contacted from a floppy disk or Cd, they can be launched when opening a program or accessing a file, any file, or they can be brought from the Internet by downloading a file or accessing a web page and as attachments to e-mails.

Besides replication, some viruses have something else in common: their infecting routine. The behaviors of viruses vary from showing messages or images to destroying files, formatting the hard disk drive and other severe damage. If the virus does not inflict damage it can still cause problems by taking up space and memory, lowering the performances of the computer.

and keep a good active a firewall. 3. Make sure your system is up-to-date with all the existent updates. 4. Keep your browsers security settings at maximum. 5. Never click yes when your browser asks you if you want to install or open some content coming from an organization you don't know or don't trust. 6. Install an anti-spy ware program to enlarge the protection. 7. Never install a browser help or search bar unless you know it comes from a reliable source. 8. Use a different credit card for shopping online. 9. Don't click on email attachments that are executable files even if they look as if sent from a known person.

The antivirus programs have a big role in providing your computers with security and protecting it from viruses, worms, and Trojan horses and other "invaders" that can attack a computer. The role of an antivirus program is to detect the presence of viruses in a computer, to disinfect the files, delete or quarantine the ones that can't be disinfected and prevent the computer from being contamination.

Most of the companies that produce antivirus have online free tools for scanning computers for viruses. If you don't have an antivirus yet and can't decide which one to buy you can enter their online sites and try the services for free, then decide what to use. I use McAfee and it works just great for me. I use to use Norton's but when my computer was acting kind of funny one day, I run McAfee and found viruses that Norton never even detected.

Spyware often installs as a third-party component bundled with a freeware or shareware application, just like adware, making the distinction between the two somewhat vague. Spyware includes code used to gather and transmit information about the user or his or her behaviour to a third party. This statistical data often is collected without the knowledge or consent of the user.
