Real Life Stories Kristina
Viruses • According to Microsoft.com, viruses are “small software programs...that interfere with computer operation” • Harm data, spread to others through email, destroy hard drive • Contracted through emails, downloads, CDs, etc • can be instantaneous or dormant
Viruses • Some types: • Worm: replicates self through email attachments • File infectors: attached to files; when program loads, so does virus • Macro viruses: attack Word; inserts unwanted words/phrases • Spyware: pop-up windows that literally spy on your computer by sending out private info
Viruses • The best way to guard against viruses is to know the origin of every program and everything you download
Firewalls • “Hardware or software that slows the invasion of a computer system by blocking viruses and hackers” (Gil) • Monitors traffic and blocks certain ports while only allowing specified program and services • Routers: limit traffic from certain IP addresses
Antivirus • Most protect against more than just viruses, such as any “malicious software” • Security Suites • Need to be updated because viruses and other malicious software are constantly updated
