schools and businesses are so vulnerable to worms because they don't have enough money to pay for a firewall
yes certain anti-virus software does abort connections with harmful sites but some anti-virus software does not so it leaves you open to worms and trojans.
Anti-Virus is software designed for computers to protect against malicious programs that can harm your computer and often the software searches your PC and repairs damage caused by "Virus's". Software targeted by anti-virus include: Mal-ware Virus Trojan Virus's Worms and so on. A great anti virus software is Trend Micro.
VIRUS
Viruses and Trojans have signatures written for them. By this I mean, when a virus has been discovered, programmers will write a blocking code that is installed in the anti virus program. When you update your anti virus program this new "virus signature" will be recorded in your anti virus program. Then when the virus comes a calling, your anti virus program will recognize the virus and initiate the blocking code so the virus can not install itself in your system.So with out the signature of the virus, the virus can enter your computer. So updating your anti virus program daily is very important! Some of the top anti virus programs have a new Technology called Heuristic Technology.This Heuristic Technology dose not need the signature of a virus to block it. The way it works is Heuristic Technology looks for careerists of viruses and will block it just for looking unusual. This is the way of the future. Hackers are getting smarter, our defence must follow. If you care to read more you can on my site trojanhorseremoval.org
no.... there are no worms what so ever.(: so ur good.
will i did not scan my PC before i backed up my computer then after it finish backing up i scanned my PC. Norton internet security 2011 found Trojan virus so it deleted. Then next day i scanned my back up drive it found the same virus that infected my PC so that one way Trojan can spread.
a hidden virus is were your virus is hidden so you have a virus but you can't see it. so its called a hidden virus.
There are so many disadvantage of a personal computer. Some of them include limited storage, lack of encryption from serves, vulnerable to virus and malware attacks among others.
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.
So we can all pretend to eat worms without actually eating worms.
worms have very muscular stomachs so its called a gizzard
