What are two definitions for hacking?
* note these 2 aren't the official definitions, just what they are. * 1. The media says that hackers are cyber-criminals who break into your computer, plant viruses, and steal government secrets. * 2. Really(and this most people do not know) hackers are just incredibly computer talented people who may break into computers, but just for the challenge of it. A true hacker doesn't steal secrets or plant viruses, hackers are good people who wouldn't dream of doing this kind of stuff. * The action of hacking is breaking into a computer. Nothing else.This part is just an extra sort of thing but people that break into computers to plant viruses and steal very important info are actually called crackers. And there are hackers who break into computers, discover all the vulnerabilities, and then tell the person who owns the computer or network these vulnerabilities and helps them fix these weakness before crackers can get in and cause damage. These hackers are Ethical Hackers. And some people think that a firewall can keep a cracker out. WRONG!!! Firewalls can block some forms of hacking but not all.And this might help you trust what I have said, but I am actually learning how to be an Ethical Hacker, so I know.

How can newer versions of computer viruses affect the computer system?
Although anti-virus programs try to keep an updated list of all computer viruses in existence, they obviously can't be 100% successful at that. Because of this, newer viruses that may have not been added to the definitions list of anti-virus programs are better at spreading across computer systems. Older viruses are much more likely to be detected, since anti-virus companies have had time to detect them and add them to their definitions list.
