Computer Viruses

If your antivirus software is unable to quarantine a detected virus, it is either because of A) An error was encountered while moving the virus to quarantine on the hard disk, or B) The virus is putting up a fight against your antivirus software.

When this happens, delete the virus or send it to the developer of the antivirus software if possible for analysis.

No, you will only get a virus if you click on links to websites claiming to give away free money or diamonds. Hope to be helpful!

No honeypot (in a nutshell) is used to lure and trap hackers from stealing information on the system

The Motaba virus adapted to the air and mutated from there.It causes a hemorrhagic fever. You hemorrhage through every orifice and mucous membrane, maybe even through pores. And you have a fever. Most people infected die

Anti-virus software program itself deletes the infected files after running the scan and detecting fault error files.

No, the local storage popup question itself is not a virus; it's a feature of web browsers that allows websites to store data on your device. This functionality is used for various purposes, like remembering login information or user preferences. However, if you encounter suspicious popups or requests for local storage access from untrustworthy websites, it could indicate a potential security risk. Always be cautious and avoid granting permissions to unfamiliar sites.

I'm guessing that animal jam can not give you a virus, it is a website for kids and u do not download it on your computer. A virus is most likely to happen when you download something on your computer.

While it isn't a virus, it does lead to a screamer, so I would recommend AGAINST clicking it regardless.

from what I see, no. Microsoft security essentials has scanned this. Microsoft will not lie to you. I have had this on my computer for a while for the time I had it, it worked very well, and I didn't notice any "virus like symptoms" on my computer. I personally would say it is safe, but if you start noticing wired things, get rid of it!

Just because a lot of people play it doesn't mean it doesn't contain a virus! The fact is once I installed the game a weird process was running in the background which I later found was a harmful key logger! So yes the bloody game contains a virus which almost nobody knows about.

download file, call antivirus

A trojan is a program that you bring into your system believing it's something else. A hidden code inside something else. As such, a trojan isn't dangerous at all. It's just a delivery method but most things delivered this way are quite harmful. You MIGHT get a trojan with an incredible improvement pack, made by the Computer Gods but it's rather unlikely.

Once a virus is installed, it usually has full control of your computer, meaning it will either do what it can to dammage it, or keep it in perfect condition and steal your data.

It depends. A virus, by definition, replicates itself. But a trojan horse acts as a beneficial program but actually does something harmful (or both, as KaZaA did). Some trojan horses send themselves to others, but they usually rely on people being drawn to it's free features to download it.

No. Computer viruses remain in computers until removed. Computer lines are designed to transfer packets containing the virus, not storing them.

Yes, hence the name. The original Trojan horse appeared to be a gift and so, was not properly authenticated. Turned out to be full of Greeks. Code that appears to be benign or useful may actually carry malicious instructions.

I have tested it on my Kaspersky antivirus, which was updated. It is 100% safe and virus-free according to the test.

If you mean Malware, then it is malicious software made by hackers to steal information or mess up your computer. But beware never trust a website saying you have malware. Usually they are malicious websites themselves. Only use windows software or virus scanning software that you have paid for to look for malware.

It's Internet Hijacker Software. If it was Installed It Navigates to Adds Pages without asking Owner Permission.So try to Un-install as soon as Possible.

By removing Program Files like

webinstall.exe

software.exe

tuto4pc.exe

You will be in safe side.

no, it does not at all do not worry about it

Virus scanners operate by scanning data from documents and programs and looks for certain strings of code in them which are tell-tale signs of a virus. Most virus scanners recognize these strings by connecting to a large information data base. Only known viruses with the certain strings of code in the data base will be detected though.

As far as a lot of people know, the game is not a virus...many people have played the game and nobody has reported a virus from it.

But if you're worried about it, you could scan the file before opening it!

Also, take a precaution to prepare yourself...the game, although not a virus as far as many people know, will indeed scare the crap out of you.

Anyway, happy Slendering! (If that's a verb. O_O)

Anti-viruses are very important, as they protect your computer from MOST (not all) viruses and other malicious programs.

No. Go to your internet options and find the popup blocker on the menu. Check the box and they are now blocked.
