A virus is just one type of malware, but the term is more widely used by the public. Malware is a program designed to gain access to computer systems, normally for the benefit of some third party, without the user\u2019s permission. Malware includes computer viruses, worms, Trojan horses, ransomware, spyware and other malicious programs.<\/p>\n<p>A virus is a malicious executable code attached to another executable file which can be harmless or can modify or delete data. The terms &#8220;virus&#8221; and &#8220;malware&#8221; are often used interchangeably.

Similarly, in the same way that flu viruses cannot reproduce without a host cell, computer viruses cannot reproduce and spread without programming such as a file or document.<\/p>\n<p>Virus is a type of malware that has specific way of distribution: Virus attaches itself to other executables (or bootsectors\/ USB auto-runs). They either corrupt original executables or launch them upon execution and then try to infect other files\/devices or perform other malicious tasks. Thus viruses are different from other malware like Worms (that search for vulnerabilities for infection), trojans ( that pretend to be something else) as other parasites have no capabilities to attach themselves to the executable file itself rather than completely replace it.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Types of Computer Virus<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4><strong>Boot Sector Virus<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>A boot sector virus damages or controls the boot sector on the drive, rendering the machine unusable. Your computer drive has a sector solely responsible for pointing to the operating system so that it can boot into the interface. Attackers will usually spread this virus\u00a0type using a malicious USB device. The virus is activated when users plug in the USB device and boot their machine.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Direct Action Virus<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>These viruses can also remain dormant until a specific action is taken or a timeframe passes. When a user executes a seemingly harmless file attached with malicious code, direct action viruses deliver a payload immediately.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Web Scripting Virus<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Most browsers have defenses against malicious web scripts, but older, unsupported browsers have vulnerabilities that allow an attacker to run code on the local device.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Polymorphic Virus<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Polymorphic viruses make it more difficult for an antivirus to detect and remove them. Malware authors can use polymorphic code to change the program\u2019s footprint to avoid detection.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Browser Hijacker<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>A virus that can change the settings on your browser will hijack browser favorites, the home page URL, your search preferences and redirect you to a malicious site. The site could be a phishing site or an adware page used to steal data or make money for the attacker.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Multipartite Virus<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>These malicious programs spread across a network or other systems by copying themselves or injecting code into critical computer resources.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Macro Virus<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Macro viruses deliver a payload when the file is opened, and the macro runs. Microsoft Office files can run macros, and these macros can be used to download additional malware or run malicious code.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Resident Virus<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>This malware may stay dormant until a specific date, time, or a user performs an action. A virus that can access computer memory and sit dormant until a payload is delivered is considered a resident virus.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>File Infector Virus<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>When the system boots or the program runs, the virus is activated. To persist on a system, a threat actor uses file infector viruses to inject malicious code into critical files that run the operating system or important programs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3MWTnuS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Grab Study Materials to Strengthen your Knowledge in GK!! Register Here!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Symptoms of Computer Virus<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>There are many telling symptoms of a computer virus infection, including the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Constant pop-up windows that tell you to visit untrustworthy sites or prompt you to download anti-virus programs.<\/li>\n<li>Your homepage may look different, and you can\u2019t change it back to its original form.<\/li>\n<li>Your email account sends mass emails designed to look as if you sent them.<\/li>\n<li>Your computer or device crashes constantly and eventually, you can turn them back on to function as intended.<\/li>\n<li>Your computer performance is unusually slow and processing speed is unreliable.<\/li>\n<li>Unrecognizable programs initiate when you launch your computer, and you only notice them at the time you turn on your device.<\/li>\n<li>You notice password changes are made, and you can no longer log into your devices.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Examples of Computer Virus<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The web contains millions of computer viruses, but only a few have gained popularity and infect record numbers of machines. Some examples of widespread computer viruses include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Morris Worm<\/li>\n<li>Nimda<\/li>\n<li>ILOVEYOU<\/li>\n<li>SQL Slammer<\/li>\n<li>Stuxnet<\/li>\n<li>CryptoLocker<\/li>\n<li>Conficker<\/li>\n<li>Tinba<\/li>\n<li>Welchia<\/li>\n<li>Shlayer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"block-wide-text__title\"><strong>What Causes Computer Viruses?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"block-wide-text__content\">\n<p>Modern browsers have defenses against local machine code execution, but third-party software installed on the browser could have vulnerabilities that allow viruses to run locally.<\/p>\n<p>Computer viruses are standard programs, only instead of offering useful resources, these programs can damage your device. For a threat actor to execute a virus on your machine, you must initiate execution. In some cases, an attacker can execute malicious code through your browser or remotely from another network computer.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What Does a Computer Virus Do?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A virus can\u00a0damage programs, delete files and reformat or erase your hard drive, which results in reduced performance or even crashing your system entirely. Hackers can also use viruses to access your personal information to steal or destroy your data. \u00a0way a computer virus acts depends on how it\u2019s coded. It could be something as simple as a prank that doesn\u2019t cause any damage, or it could be sophisticated, leading to criminal activity and fraud.<\/p>\n<p>A virus that infects a host device will continue delivering a payload until it\u2019s removed. Most antivirus vendors have small removal programs that eliminate the virus.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3MWTnuS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Grab Study Materials to Strengthen your Knowledge in GK!! Register Here!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\" u-headline-topBottom \"><strong>How do Computer Viruses Attack and Spread<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Computer viruses can be spread via email, with some even capable of hijacking email software to spread themselves. Others may attach to legitimate software, within software packs, or infect code, and other viruses can be downloaded from compromised application stores and infected code repositories.<\/p>\n<p>Viruses were spread between devices using floppy disks. Nowadays, viruses can still be spread via hard disks and Universal Serial Bus (USB) devices, but they are more likely to be passed between devices through the internet. A key feature of any computer virus is it requires a victim to execute its code or payload, which means the host application should be running.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Most Dangerous Computer Virus<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The worst computer virus in the world is the Mydoom virus that induced around $38 billion in damage in 2004. Mydoom virus is originated from Russia and is written in C++ programming language. My Doom is one of the fastest spreading virus of all time, it effected one in 12 emails at its peak. The worm spreads itself by appearing as an email transmission error and contains an attachment of itself and the first version of the worm, appeared on January 26, 2004.<\/p>\n<p>Mydoom caused estimated damage of $38 billion in 2004, but its inflation-adjusted cost is actually $52.2 billion. Also known as Novarg, this malware is technically a \u201cworm,\u201d spread by mass emailing. At one point, the Mydoom virus was responsible for 25% of all emails sent. The worm was created to disrupt SCO\u00a0due\u00a0to conflict\u00a0over ownership of some Linux code.<\/p>\n<p>Users would open an attachment like \u201cMail Transaction Failed\u201d. Its aim was to take down websites like Google and Lycos. It managed to take out Google for almost a day. It spread via email and through a peer-to-peer network. The virus creates a backdoor in the victim\u2019s computer\u2019s operating system to allow remote access and second it launches a denial of service attack on the controversial SCO Group.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"block-wide-text__title\"><strong>How to Prevent Computer Viruses<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"block-wide-text__content\">\n<p>Computer viruses can damage your PC, send sensitive data to attackers, and cause downtime until the system is repaired.

That is all software that has malicious intent or malicious distribution method. Malware is software written specifically to harm and infect the host system that attempts to steal information from your computer, such as passwords, bank details, credit card details etc. The most common form of malware is a keylogger which does just what it says, every time you enter a site it will log the keys that you press and send them back to the originator of the keylogger.<\/p>\n<p>Malware includes viruses along with other types of software such as trojan horses, worms, spyware, and adware. Advanced malware such as ransomware are used to commit financial fraud and extort money from computer users.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\"><strong>Common types of malware<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul class=\"q-box\">\n<li class=\"q-relative\"><strong>Virus:<\/strong>\u00a0As discussed, Virus is a specific type of malware by itself. It is a contagious piece of code that infects the other software on the host system and spreads itself once it is run. It is mostly known to spread when software is shared between computers. This acts more like a parasite.<\/li>\n<li class=\"q-relative\"><strong>Adware:<\/strong>\u00a0Adware is also known as advertising-supported software. It is software which renders advertisements for the purpose of generating revenue for its author. The advertisements are published on the screen presented to the user at the time of installation. Adware is programmed to examine which Internet sites, the user visits frequently and to present and feature related advertisements. Not all adware has malicious intent, but it becomes a problem anyway because it harms computer performance and can be annoying.<\/li>\n<li class=\"q-relative\"><strong>Spyware:<\/strong>\u00a0This type of malicious software, spies on you, tracks your internet activities. It helps the hacker in gathering information about the victim\u2019s system, without the consent of the victim. This spyware\u2019s presence is typically hidden from the host and it is very difficult to detect. Some spyware like keyloggers may be installed intentionally in a organization to monitor activities of employees.<\/li>\n<li class=\"q-relative\"><strong>Worms:<\/strong>\u00a0This type of malware will replicate itself and destroys information and files saved on the host PC. It works to eat up all the system operating files and data files on a drive.<\/li>\n<li class=\"q-relative\"><strong>Trojan:\u00a0<\/strong>Trojans are a type of virus that are designed to make a user think they are a safe program and run them. They may be programmed to steal personal and financial information, and later take over the resources of the host computer\u2019s system files. In large systems it may attempt to make a host system or network resource unavailable to those attempting to reach it. Example: you business network becoming unavailable.<\/li>\n<li class=\"q-relative\"><strong>Ransomware:<\/strong>\u00a0Ransomware is an advanced type of malware that restricts access to the computer system until the user pays a fee. Your screen might show a pop up warning that your have been locked out of your computer and that you can access only after paying the cyber criminal. The cyber criminal demands a ransom to be paid in order for the restriction to be removed. The infamous Cryptolocker is one type of ransomware.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rootkit:<\/strong> Rootkit\u00a0is a form of malware that provides the attacker with administrator privileges on the infected system, also known as \u201croot\u201d access. Typically, it is also designed to stay hidden from the user, other software on the system, and the operating system itself.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keylogger:<\/strong> A keylogger is malware that records all the user\u2019s keystrokes on the keyboard, typically storing the gathered information and sending it to the attacker, who is seeking sensitive information like usernames, passwords, or credit card details.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Exploits: <\/strong>Exploits are a type of malware that takes advantage of bugs and\u00a0vulnerabilities\u00a0in a system in order to give the attacker access to your system. While there, the attacker might steal your data or drop some form of malware.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.sng.link\/Bcofz\/yv45\/8wer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Attempt Free GK Mock test !

Some malware types are easier to detect, such as ransomware, which makes itself known immediately upon encrypting your files.<\/p>\n<p>Some other malware like spyware, may remain on a target system silently to allow an adversary to maintain access to the system. Regardless of the malware type or malware meaning, its detectability or the person deploying it, the intent of malware use is always malicious.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How Does a Malware Spread<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Email<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: Some malicious emails can even infect your computer from the email client\u2019s preview, without you opening or downloading an attachment or a link.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>The Internet:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Perusing the Web may feel like a private activity, but actually, if you are revealing your computer to unwanted contact with anyone else who has a computer and Internet access.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Outdated software:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Malwares can creep the Internet, if you are looking for intrusions of out of dated software to spread its effects over computer systems.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Local Area Networks (LANs):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> A LAN is a group of locally interconnected computers that can transform and share data and\u00a0 information through a private network. If one computer within the network gets malware infected, all other computers in the LAN network will automatically become infected as well.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Instant messaging (IM) and peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing systems:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> If anyone is using a client for these online activities, malware may spread to your system.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Social networks:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0 If a website account is infected with a virus, anyone who visits the profile page of the website could \u201ccatch\u201d the worm on their system.

Register Here!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"how-to-protect-against-malware\"><strong>How to protect against malware<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Here is some tips on protecting against malware,<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pay attention to the domain and be wary if the site isn\u2019t a top-level domain, i.e., com, mil, net, org, edu, or biz, to name a few.<\/li>\n<li>Use strong passwords with multi-factor authentication. A password manager can be a big help here.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid clicking on pop-up ads while browsing the Internet.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid opening email attachments from unknown senders.<\/li>\n<li>Do not click on strange, unverified links in emails, texts, and social media messages.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t download software from untrustworthy websites or peer-to-peer file transfer networks.<\/li>\n<li>Stick to official apps from Google Play and Apple\u2019s App Store on Android, OSX, and iOS (and don\u2019t jailbreak your phone). PC users should check the ratings and reviews before installing any software.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure your operating system, browsers, and plugins are patched and up to date.<\/li>\n<li>Delete any programs you don\u2019t use anymore.<\/li>\n<li>Back up your data regularly. If your files become damaged, encrypted, or otherwise inaccessible, you\u2019ll be covered.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Antimalware and antivirus solutions<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Signature-based scanning<\/b>. This is a basic approach that all antimalware programs use, including free ones. Signature-based scanners rely on a database of known virus signatures. The success of the scanner depends on the freshness of the signatures in the database.<\/li>\n<li><b>Heuristic analysis<\/b>. This detects viruses by their similarity to related viruses. It examines samples of core code in the malware rather than the entire signature. Heuristic scanning can detect a virus even if it is hidden under additional junk code.<\/li>\n<li><b>Real-time behavioral monitoring solutions<\/b>. These seek unexpected actions, such as an application sending gigabytes of data over the network. It blocks the activity and hunts the malware behind it. This approach is helpful in detecting file less malware.<\/li>\n<li><b>Sandbox analysis<\/b>. This moves suspect files to a sandbox or secured environment in order to activate and analyze the file without exposing the rest of the network to potential risk.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.sng.link\/Bcofz\/yv45\/8wer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Attempt Free GK Mock test !
