Warning!!! Virus Alert

 

Dispite all the warnings and alerts there is always going to be those dangers in your computers life of being hit by some sort of virus. They are never completely immuned from infection. There are normally 4 main virus traits these are Trojans - They attack and multiply sometimes even rewriting themselves once a fix has fixed them. The damage they cause is mostly to slow down computer, connect too infected web pages, attach themselves to files, then the unsuspecting user emails to entire contact list. W32. These are mainly spread with people opening up attachments/hacked pages or flashdrives, these are the most dangerous to you system as the W32.******.Gen attack by disabling you antivirus, spyware and then infecting the system files that ultimately make your OS work. Sometimes these are easy to fix with little damage to the OS but other times their destructive traits leave your machine useless, deleting files or folders even sometimes formating the whole hard drive. But the above are mild compared to the ultimate Backdoor Virus, these steal everything from your keystrokes on the keyboard, login/passwords too your private pages, ID theft and then using your ID, login & password to cause trouble and all without you even knowing you've been hacked. Rogueware is relatively new to the virus forms, these are becoming the most dangerous as it is normally attached to a program that with the untrained eye just looks like a system program helping your PC/Laptop go faster, clean up and tweak when infact it targets the systems driver folder and states the some crutial system files (*.dll) are infected and have to be deleted and fix. Very often these files are perfectly file, not infected at all, but the RogueWare con's the user into false sense and installs the program as it's free, from then on the OS becomes faulty, crashes or even Blue Screens with fatal errors.
