On development of science and technology, the network technique is more and more advance and important. A lot of malware has appeared on the Internet. Malware is described some unsafe software, such as computer viruses, Trojan horses and spywares. Recently, it uses in order to invade any computer. Malware is exploited by hackers and governments to steal personal, financial or state secrets. Malware is typically used against hackers to gain information like personal identification numbers, credit card passwords. As malware steal information from people and companies more frequently, computer experts think malware is too dangerous to affect people’s life. It is necessary in order to anti- malware for people and society. Some computer experts …show more content…
They are viruses, Spyware, Trojan and worms.
Virus is a self infection by copying other normal file malware, infected files can be utilized to remove the virus after return to normal, there are some infected files cannot be cleared. At this time recommended to delete the file, reinstall the application.
According to the author Kirby explains spyware - just like a spy, a hacker uses spyware to track internet activities and steal people’s information and also install backdoors in user computers without people being conscious of it (Kirby, 2015). The user's private data and important information will be the backdoor acquisition; even these "backdoor" can allow hackers to remotely manipulate the user's computer.
Trojan refers to a specific program to control another computer. There are usually two executable programs: one is to control the end. Another is the control terminal. It usually gets permission to run by covert means, then theft of user privacy, or other malicious behavior.
The worm is through the network to copy itself to other computers on the network with the malicious program, is different from the common virus, worm virus does not usually infect other programs on the computer, but to steal confidential information on other

Although it has just started for Windows XP, it is also developing. According to the website, it states that its infection channel is by net shares, software vulnerabilities and removable drives (Conficker, 2014). However, under the command and control server command, they can also download other malicious software to steal credentials and disable security software.
Sality, which appeared in 2003, can infect computers in different ways and it is thought to have originated in Russia. Sality is a polymorphic malware that is evolving and difficult to detect, and attacks by infecting executable files and downloading more complex malware. According to SALITY, it explains “Sality malware modifies the affected computer’s HOSTS files to prevent access to certain websites” (2013). It’s like Conficker, controlled by a huge
Worse, they cannot see if the user 's machine already contains malware such as keystroke loggers, frame grabbers or Trojans. They also cannot see or manage stored information such as the end users ' cache, cookies, password store and browser history. Data can remain in the web browser cache in clear text format, where it can be easily extracted by either malware or end users. Even simple, everyday tasks, such as cut, copy, paste and screen capture, put sensitive data in the system-wide clipboard, also rendered in clear text format and easily accessible even after the web session has ended. In addition, stored user names and passwords from browser sessions remain available in the authentication cache and are therefore vulnerable to
In this section of the presentation I will be talking about anti-virus, the first one I will be talking about is firewall this is a software or a hardware based system that is made to block access from a network. This is used in most network as a line of defence to try and stop bad packets entering the network and cause harm to the network. How it does is this by filter all the suspicious packets that can harm the network . There are three different types of firewalls proxy firewall, packet filtering firewall, stateful Firewall, I will start of with the stateful inspection packet filtering firewall, this is basically the eye of the network as it tracks on everything out and in the network, so if somehow the hacker enter the network and damage it because
The fundamental spread vector is bundling. The shady instrument hitches a ride with pirated applications, shareware & freeware which mediate the installation. The host is alluded to as a download customer. It offers the stealthy program as a bonus tool. You can have it installed or deselect it.
35. Do we run anti-virus software on servers on all Microsoft platforms? 36. Is dial-in access into the system/network is controlled by authentication and logs?
Always install the application from trusted source or device manufacturer 's store. Before downloading read app description carefully and at the time of installation deny all permissions those seems untrusted. Step 02: Delete all messages received from the unknown source that inquire for your information. Do not ever open any link in the messages, a hacker may still your information and install malware on the device. Step 03: Always keep updating your device firmware.
Clear the user history: Erase all the data downloaded by the user once the user log out from the system which will prevent the access of the private data and protects the unauthorized access to the system. 5. Monitor users actions: If a user tries to download data from suspicious website then the administrator should get alert and take the appropriate action. This will help the misuse of the
This can help delete all the malware or malicious content on the computer’s system. This can be the only way to save a computer at times, for example if the memory storage has been filled up with worms that keep copying themselves until the system stops responding. If this is the case then deleting everything can be the easiest way to stop. Other times, the malware is not visible to the user allowing it to travel through the system’s hard drive and damage the files. It can also be disguised as useful files.
Malware-Based Phishing Alludes to tricks that include running malevolent programming on clients' PCs. Malware can be presented
Certain applications here at First World Bank Savings and Loan are mission-critical for our organization, we will want to monitor appropriate security lists maintained by their sponsoring groups. Linux has antivirus and anti-malware systems. Some of these systems are designed to minimize the risk of Linux as a malware carrier between Microsoft systems. But such systems also address malware written for Linux, such as rootkits, Trojan horses, worms, and more.
First of all there are three of the same virus on the system that was scanned. That virus is called Win32/DH{eRUTxVzF3U} and it is one of the bad viruses that we do not want on our computers. The virus can replicate itself and attach and infect the files it attaches itself to. Once it starts to replicate itself that will take up space in your hard drive and make it so that you have less space for you to use. The virus can change the file that is in on or steal the information that inside that file, and it can send itself to other computers so that it will spread and continue replicating itself.
Others ways to protect a computer from virus are: if you don’t know the sender of a message with an attachment, don’t open it; back up your files often to keep your data safe from virus; use routers and firewalls to monitor your computer activity and block unauthorized entries; disable macro security settings in working with Word or Excel to prevent running without permission.
1. Viruses Can destroy all of the data and erase all of the file or misused by the attacker. Have the anti-virus downloaded in your computer and make sure your computer is completely updated. 2. Phishing Attacker will be able to get the private information of the person and will gain access on computer Be able to recognize the fake emails from the attacker and avoid opening them up.
This unique characters, otherwise called signatures can be a byte pattern in the virus. This is usually done using the AV software, the AV software uses the signature obtained from the signature database to detect the malware, and when a match is gotten, the AV software then alerts and prompts the user to repair or remove the file. - - Heuristic-based Detection: unlike the signature based detection, the heuristic-based detection is mainly designed to detect previously undetected or unknown viruses. Heuristics based detection detect viruses based on how they behave; that is to say the heuristic blocks the action of a file that it’s not behaving the way it is known to behave using sandbox techniques from a heuristic scanner.. - - SQL (Structured Query Language) Injection is when malicious attackers make use of SQL statements to interact with a database.
They steal sensitive personal, business, and government information. They steal money, crash websites, destroy files, and disrupt businesses. (pg. 230)” I agree with that quote, hackers are doing the harmful act of entering into someone’s privacy and gathering personal information with the intent to steal. Others may argue that the people are getting
This widespread, coordinated criminal effort is enabled by a plethora of vulnerabilities of the Internet, browsers, operating systems, and applications that are easily exploited by cybercrime techniques. Cybercriminals have found that compromising employee endpoints is a far simpler path into the corporate network than directly attacking networks. Unpatched “zero-day” vulnerabilities allow cybercriminals to secretly install malware on employee endpoint devices and essentially gain the same level of access to the corporate network, applications, and data that employees
