What is a difference between a worm and a virus?
A virus is a program that is designed to spread from file to file on a single PC, it does not intentionally try to move to another PC, and it must replicate, and execute itself to be defined as a virus. A worm is designed to copy itself (intentionally move) from PC to PC, via networks, internet etc. A worm doesnt need a host file to move from system to system, whereas a virus does. So worms spread more rapidly then viruses. The word 'Virus' has become a common term a lot of people use to refer to worms and trojans too. Which is not exactly correct.
What causes of virus on a computer?
Viruses are computer programs intentionally created by douchebags, to ruin your computer, usually for no good reason. When you download software or media files from really any source, a virus could be hidden in it and that's how it gets on your computer.
What are effects of intentional virus?
Very Bad consequences and can cause damage to your computer.
What are the effects of intentional virus settings?
The effects of intentionally spreading (or "setting") computer viruses include financial losses associated with the cost of removing the virus(es) from infected computers, time lost actually removing the virus(es), and once the perpetrator has been identified, a warrant being issued for the arrest of the person who initiated the computer virus(es). Intentionally spreading computer viruses is a criminal act, punishable by imprisonment, fine, or both, usually depending on where the perpetrator lives and/or where the criminal act was done. A computer virus is designed to maliciously erase data on your hard drive or simply take over the "host" computer, rendering the computer either unusable or extremely difficult to use. It is generally felt, by many people around the world, that those who intentionally spread Computer Viruses should be summarily imprisoned for at least ten years, with no chance of parole, and fined at least $20,000 (U.S.). Some people feel that those who intentionally spread computer viruses should be publicly executed.
What is parasitic virus?
A parasitic program written intentionally to enter a computer without the users permission or knowledge. The word parasite is used because a virus attaches to files or boot sectors and replicates itself, thus continuing to spread. Though some virus's do little but replicate others can cause serious damage or effect program and system performance. A virus should never be assumed harmless and left on a system.
What are some consequences for people caught intentionally setting viruses?
If you are talking about intentionally putting a virus in your computer then that would depend on what the virus was written to do. If it is supposed to erase your hard drive or erase an important file from your PC the the consequences could be really bad. The first thing you should do though is find out what kind of virus it is then find out what it will do. If you are talking about intentionally spreading a virus to make others sick then that is a felony and you will be spending time in a prison.
What software does not require a user to assist in its propogation?
Standalone software that does not require a user to assist in its propagation is often called a computer virus or just a virus.However, in order for a virus to propagate (transmit a copy of itself) to another computer, there must be something on the second computer that allows the virus to be accepted and to run/execute. It could be a person not aware of the virus that allows it to be accepted. It also could be software on the destination computer that, by design or as a result of faulty programming, intentionally or unintentionally allows the virus program to enter the computer and become active.
Which answer best identifies stand alone software that does not require to user assist propogation?
a worm
How do you download a virus and send it threw email?
It is illegal and unethical to intentionally download a virus and send it through email. Doing so could result in legal consequences and harm to others. If you suspect that your computer has a virus, you should use antivirus software to remove it and practice safe internet habits to prevent future infections.
