In its most basic form, a
computer virus is a program that attaches itself to your computer
without your knowledge. They can take many forms and may do many
different things.
Here is a list of different
types of viruses -
Boot Sector - A Boot Sector Virus infects the system area of a
floppy or hard drive, or the part that is accessed when your computer
is first turned on. Infection usually occurs when booting from an
infected disk.
File Infector Viruses - Most of these viruses reside in the
memory of a computer and infect programs' .exe and .com files.
Master Boot Record (MBR) Viruses Similar to a Boot Sector viruses,
these viruses infect the Master Boot Record and prevent your PC from
booting.
Multi-partite viruses - These viruses infect both the boot
record and program files.
Macro viruses - Macro Viruses are prevalent in corporate environments
where office applications are used, usually Microsoft Office (Word and
Excel). They use a program's code to infect data files.
Trojan Horse Viruses - These viruses do not replicate
themselves. Instead, they often pose as a harmless file that is
downloaded from the web or from an e-mail attachment. These programs
can result in the theft or destruction of data files. This type of
virus is commonly picked up from peer to peer file sharing programs.
Spyware/Adware Removal Services -
Spyware programs are normally but not limited to being hidden inside
"free" downloads from the Internet. Spyware programs watch your
activity and can record details of web sites you have visited and
other personal information and then report this information back to
the company or individual who created it. We repair most virus and
spyware infections within an hour.
Spyware secretly tracks your computer usage and
can slow your computer to a crawl. Adware makes your computer display
annoying advertising pop-ups. Spyware and adware hide in file-sharing
and other programs you might install on your computer from websites
you visit.
There are several preventative steps that you can take to ensure your protection from computer viruses -
- Don’t invite viruses into your computer. This means being careful what sites you download from – many sites that promise “free” content are really nothing more than virus delivery vehicles.
- Don’t open email attachments that you’re not expecting unless they’ve been thoroughly scanned by an antivirus program. Certain computer viruses can infect the victim’s email account, so that whenever that person sends attachments, the virus will embed itself within that attachment. Certain viruses can actually send emails on their own, claiming to be from someone you know when, in fact, that person has no knowledge of it.
- Load virus protection software onto your computer. There are several very good manufacturers of both free and subscription-based virus software.
