Computer viruses and their modifications appear every day in dozens and even hundreds. Each new virus becomes more intelligent and more dangerous than its predecessor. The degree of harm that such intruders can cause is also growing. Today viruses threaten not only to spoil the smooth operation of your computer, but also to steal your personal data!
Instructions
Step 1
Whether you use e-wallets to pay bills or conduct business negotiations via email, you should be wary of spyware. These malicious programs usually enter the computer as part of other useful software that cybercriminals infect. The virus records all your actions, including entering passwords. Then the spyware sends the received data to its owner using your internet connection. The result of this type of virus is the stealing of all your personal data and access passwords.
Step 2
Another type of virus is the so-called Trojans. They are dangerous in that they disguise themselves as standard, useful or entertainment programs and even as informational messages of the system. But as soon as the user activates such a virus, it will begin to multiply rapidly, infecting more and more files and documents. Trojans are usually not aimed at stealing information from a computer, but at destroying it. In addition, many viruses of this type are fraudulent message banners offering to send an sms message or invest some amount of money in a lucrative pyramid scheme. A careless user may not recognize a fraud and give a serious amount. Moreover, he will do it completely consciously, with his own hands, and there will be no one to blame.
Step 3
The computer virus industry is actively developing and gaining momentum by leaps and bounds. Even with a good antivirus, you cannot be 100% secure. Cunning threats are increasingly combining several types of viruses at once. They spread with the speed of worms, monitor your actions like spies, damage files and information on your computer like Trojans, and then remove themselves from the system. And all this happens even before your antivirus has time to start working.
Step 4
Modern viruses can "eat" computer memory, slow down the system, disrupt the proper functioning of some programs, steal personal data and access passwords, try to mislead you with fraudulent messages or destroy important documents. Therefore, if it seems to you that a virus has appeared in the system, immediately contact a specialist!
Step 5
Remember that a computer virus cannot completely malfunction a technician or run its malicious code when the computer is turned off. And most importantly, any computer virus can be removed.
