Virus Protection Tips – 7 Types of Malicious Software That Can Easily Infect Your PC
Going online without any protection is the same with going to the battlefield without any weapon. Did you know that 90% of computer users in the U.S are infected by malware?
Malware are software that have malicious intent and can do lot of things. It can steal your username, password, take control of your PC, slow down your PC and many more.
Even big companies also use malware in their product. For example, Sony put a rootkit inside their CD to prevent piracy. Even though they are a big company, using malicious software inside their product is unacceptable.
There are few types of malware and below is the list for 7 types of malicious software and a brief description of each:
1. Spyware
As the name implies, spyware is software that will spy on everything you do, which websites you’re visiting, your browsing habit, installing additional software and changing your homepage. You can remove it by installing antispyware.
2. Adware
Few books have different opinions on adware, some categorized it as spyware but displays advertising, others put adware into their own category. Whatever the category is, adware is software that displays advertising and it can be installed legally inside your PC. The mass amount of pop-ups that you’re experiencing while surfing the internet can be caused by adware.
3. Rootkit
Rootkit is software that can hide it presence inside your PC. Even your antivirus will not be able to detect it. However, if you schedule your antivirus to scan before your Windows boot up, then you might be able to get a chance to remove it. Another way that you can try is to use the Rootkit Revealer by SysInternal.
4. Trojan Horse
Trojan Horse is software named after the famous Trojan Horse in the Greek Mythology. As the name implies, this malicious software will only do his job if you execute it and usually disguise itself as a folder to trick you.
5. Worm
A computer worm is software that can infect your PC and will turn your PC into a zombie computer. A zombie computer is a computer that can be controlled by the hackers and usually is used to execute the DDoS attack and for example, the Conficker Worm.
6. Virus
I think this is one of the most famous malicious software. A computer virus is software that can replicate itself in your system and will infect certain file types and making it useless. There are also viruses that infect .doc files or .swf files.
The term virus also used to describe other types of malware such as Trojan Horse and Computer Worms. Technically, it’s not the same.
7. Keylogger
Keylogger is software that records everything that you type including your username, password, credit card information and many more. Every time you use your keyboard, it will record everything and send it back to its creator.
As you can see, there are lots of online threats that can infect your PC and the only way we will be able to fight them is by gaining knowledge. Knowledge is power and it’s really true in terms of computer safety.
Read It – Before Buying Antivirus Software
Today computer has become one of the most inseparable parts of our lives. Most of all people cannot survive without working on computer. It is used in everywhere be it in schools, universities, offices or at homes. But now the computers especially those which have internet connection are not at all secure. There are a number of people who try to serve their malicious business using computer. These people are called hackers. They craft some malicious software which sneak into the computer of innocent people without their knowledge or consent. The sole intension of them is to scare people and scam their precious money.
If you are a regular computer user and concerned over the security of your PC you should have the necessary security measures such as antivirus and anti-spyware software installed in your system.
Every single day a new virus is being crafted by the hackers and it infects almost 8 out of 10 computers. Once a PC gets infected with virus it becomes slow and eventually gets damaged. But the more harmful thing is that there are some viruses that can steal all you personal online information and keep your identity at risk. Therefore, it is necessary to install a good antivirus software to prevent such virus attacks.
Apart from virus attacks you have to be careful about the spyware attacks as well. Spyware are more harmful than virus. It is crafted to log your keystrokes and browsing habits to steal all your personal online information such as your bank account or credit card details and sent it to the hacker who has created it. Therefore, it is important to have anti-spyware software than antivirus software.
Moreover, there are lots of hybrid threats which have the features of both spyware and virus. Conficker is the latest example of this kind of hybrid threats. Therefore it will be good for you to install both antivirus and anti-spyware software to ensure the safety of your computer.
If you are looking forward to install proper security measures instead of buying an antivirus software you should buy the security software. It can provide you complete solution and defend both spyware and virus attacks.
