1 Introduction:
1.1 Definition of computer virus
A computer virus is Program or a portion of the codes that enter into the computer to target vandalism and characterized by their ability to copy itself to many copies and their ability to move from place to place and from computer to computer, disappearances and contents cover.
1.2 History:
Many types of computer virus has been spreading in computers since 1960. The first a computer virus discovered in 1970 and called The Creeper virus on Arpanet browser (anon, 2013)
1.3 Scope:
The article discusses whether a computer virus is useful or unreliable; furthermore it discusses whether is a good computer virus or a bad computer virus of the computer. There are many damage of computer virus however, there are two side of everything Advantages and disadvantages.
2. Disadvantages of computer virus
2.1 Computer viruses are harmful.
Some people believe that computer viruses are harmful. Firstly, because a computer virus can damage to the files so a computer virus can lead destroy, loss of files and the difficulty of retrieving again.
2.2 steal other sensitive data by computer virus
Viruses are generally often to steal information from computers that are infected. Most aren't successful. Either way, Viruses set out to harm your computer and it can also be a way for a computer virus to steal credit card numbers, passwords or account numbers and other sensitive data.
2.3 anti-virus software problems
Antivirus software has
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
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.
A Virus is a piece of malicious code that has the intent to damage your system.
As we know virus protection software is a code written by one of the programing languages that we know. This code works as a search engine looking for infected files in the entire system or specific locations on the system. The idea depends on two important factors which are, search engine and viruses’ data base. The following scenario explains how people get viruses and how virus protection software works.
A virus is an infecting agent. Viruses are non-living they need a living host, a living organism to replicate themselves. When it invades a cell it will implant their code that is capable of copying itself. This will cause a detrimental effect, corrupting the system ti its advantage or complete destruction.
How Are Viruses Classified? Viruses were discovered in 1892. During the time frame from then to now, there has been many discovered viruses on earth. Each virus is different in structure and classification.
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
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.
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
Described as a virus
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.
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
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
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
