What's a Computer Virus?
A Computer Virus is a type of malicious software program that, when executed, replicates itself by modifying other computer programs and inserting its own code. When this replication succeeds, the affected areas are then said to be “infected” with a computer virus
What on Earth is Malware?
Malware, short for malicious software, is an umbrella term used to refer to a variety of forms of hostile or intrusive software, including computer viruses, worms, Trojan horses, ransomware, spyware, adware, scare-ware, and other intentionally harmful programs.
A Trojan Horse.....What?
In computing, a Trojan Horse, or Trojan, is any malicious computer program which misleads users of its true intent.
The term is derived from the Ancient Greek story of the deceptive wooden horse that led to the fall of the city of Troy.
Trojans are generally spread by some form of social engineering, for example where a user is duped into executing an e-mail attachment disguised to be unsuspicious.
Ransonware is....
Ransomware is a type of malicious software from cryptovirology that threatens to publish the victim’s data or permentally block access to it unless a ransom is paid. Advanced malware uses a technique called cryptoviral extortion, in which it encrypts the victim’s files, making them inaccessible, and demands a ransom payment to decrypt them.
