An antivirus software program is an immensely essential part of a multi-layered security strategy. Even if you're a seasoned computer wiz, there's still a constant stream of vulnerabilities in browsers, plug-ins, and operating systems themselves, which makes antivirus protections all the more crucial. Antivirus software operates in the background of your computer, running scans on every file you open (known as background scanning, resident scanning, real-time protection, or another name, depending on which program you've chosen).
Antivirus programs are designed to catch the most familiar kinds of viruses. If a virus is new and not incorporated in software updates, it can infect the device and might be nearly impossible to remove after penetration. Most viruses are developed with existing security software in mind and generally have built-in coding to distract or disable the malware protection software, leaving your business's data doors wide open.
A computer virus is a program capable of continuously replicating with little or no user intervention. Usually, their codes cause damage to your computer either by deletion or corruption of files. A virus can also interfere with normal operations by multiplying itself and filling up disk space or random access memory space, which discretely infects your computer. Often, viruses are disguised as games, images, email attachments, website URLs, shared files, links, or files in instant messages. Be wary of any untrusted domains.
Spyware is a malicious computer program that does exactly what its name implies: it spies on you. After downloading itself onto your computer either through an email you've opened, websites you've visited, or programs you've downloaded, spyware scans your hard drive for personal information. Some spyware programs use keyloggers that will record personal data you enter into websites, including login usernames or passwords, email addresses, online buying habits, hardware and software configurations, your name, age, and sex, as well as sensitive banking and credit information.
Adware is a software that, once installed on your computer, tracks your internet browsing habits and sends you popups containing advertisements related to the sites and topics you visit. While this software may sound innocent, and even helpful, it consumes and slows down your PC’s processor and internet connection speeds. Additionally, some adware has keyloggers and spyware built into the program as well, leading to more significant damage to your computer and possible invasion of your private data.
Short for "malicious software", malware is a term that encapsulates computer viruses, worms, Trojan horses, spyware, adware, and other troubling invaders. Malware is designed to interfere with regular computer operation and usually gives attackers a chance to gain access to your computer and collect highly sensitive and sometimes personal information.
A worm is a type of virus that spreads through your computer by creating duplicates of itself on other drives, systems, and networks. One feature that makes worms so dangerous is that they can send copies of themselves to other computers across a network through email, an infected webpage, and instant messages. This type of virus can be the most damaging of the group.
Trojan horses are programs that either pretend to have or are described as having a set of useful or desirable features, but instead contain malicious and damaging codes. Generally, you receive Trojan horses through emails, infected websites and pages, instant messages, or downloaded services such as games, movies, or apps.
