Anti Virus and Anti Spy ware Installation and Repairs.
If your computer is behaving strangely or doing things which you can’t control, then it is possible that you have been infected by a virus.
Computer viruses are designed to spread from one computer to another quickly and the intention of the person writing it appears to be how much damage they can do before an anti virus solution is found.
They are a program or piece of code that is loaded onto your computer without your knowledge and runs against your wishes. All computer viruses are manmade and they can also replicate themselves. A simple virus can make a copy of itself over and over again is relatively easy to produce. Even such a simple virus is dangerous because it will quickly use all available memory and bring the system to a halt.An even more dangerous type of virus is one capable of transmitting itself across networks and bypassing security systems.
Some computer viruses don't do anything malicious -- others can wipe out everything on your hard drive .Worms are self-propagating computer viruses and are a program or algorithm that replicates itself over a computer network and usually performs malicious actions, such as using up the computer's resources and possibly shutting the system down. Their impact is similar to computer viruses. Trojan Horses are closely related to computer viruses, but they differ in that they do not attempt to replicate themselves. More specifically, a Trojan Horse performs some undesired, yet intended action while, or in addition to, pretending to do something else. A common example is a fake login program, which collects account information and passwords by asking for this info just like a normal login program does.The term comes from a story in which the Greeks give a giant wooden horse to their foes, the Trojans, ostensibly as a peace offering. But after the Trojans drag the horse inside their city walls, Greek soldiers sneak out of the horse's hollow belly and open the city gates, allowing their compatriots to pour in and capture Troy. Spy ware is software that tracks your actions and or your Internet use. It can capture what you type on your keyword, including passwords, and send it to the spy ware creator.
Spy ware applications are typically bundled as a hidden component of freeware or shareware programs that can be downloaded from the Internet, however, it should be noted that the majority of shareware and freeware applications do not come with spy ware. Once installed, the spy ware monitors user activity on the Internet and transmits that information in the background to someone else.
Ad ware is a form of spy ware that collects information about the user in order to display advertisements in the Web browser based on the information it collects from the user's browsing patterns.
Scum ware changes how you view web sites you visit. It replaces the actual content of sites with ads from scum ware advertisers, and generates traffic for the scum ware advertisers. Aside from the questions of ethics and privacy, spy ware steals from the user by using the computer's memory resources and also by eating bandwidth as it sends information back to the spy ware’s home base via the user's Internet connection. Because spy ware is using memory and system resources, the applications running in the background can lead to system crashes or general system instability.
Every single day we hear about viruses causing major PC crashes, PC's being hacked into, Spy ware installed without their permission, and even private information stolen.
