Computer Worms

Quarantine an infected system. Then use use antivirus software and antiadware software to do a general cleanup. If the system is highly infected and will later hold sensitive data, consider backing up the data, reformatting the hard drive, and reinstalling the OS and applications. In fact, Microsoft recommends this to be the safest way to deal with highly infected systems.

There are none. Viruses are never technically 'alive'. They are tiny microbes that enter the body and only start reacting to the environment once they have entered a protein molecule. They then use the molecule duplicate themselves and spread around the body. They have no life processes like other microbes, such as bacteria or fungi. They are the 'zombies' of the microscopic world.

I would suggest you run housecall it will scan your computer for viruses and tell you what they are if there are any. It is free and found it to work very well http://housecall.trendmicro.com/.

How To Get Rid Of Gator

Description

As of October 2003, Gator Corp., the original developers of Gator (GAIN; GAIN Network; IEGator; PDPPlugin; Gator/A; and variants, including Gator/Dashbar, Gator/GAIN, Gator/HDPlugin, Gator/PDP, and Gator/Trickler), officially changed its name to Claria. The most notorious Claria offering is the GAIN Network. In the words of Claria, the GAIN Network is a "behavioral advertising network" (which means it's adware) for delivering targeted pop-up ads to users of affiliated Web-based services and freeware. Some of that freeware is developed by Claria, including the Gator eWallet, which conveniently remembers a user's passwords, credit card numbers, and other personal information to simplify the process of logging in to frequently visited Web sites; Weatherscope, a weather-reporting utility that displays the current temperature in the System Tray; and Precision Time, a clock-synchronization utility.

You are most likely to acquire a component of Gator when you install freeware applications�including Kazaa (see our entry later in this article)�that are affiliated with the GAIN Network. Likewise, you may inadvertently link yourself to the GAIN Network simply by visiting affiliated Web sites or clicking one of the network's many pop-up ads. Claria claims that users receive fair warning before they download and install any program that has ties to the GAIN Network. This is true, but it's also true that the warnings are bundled with an EULA (end-user license agreement), which many users routinely ignore.

How To Tell If Gator Is Present On Your System

You'll notice the appearance of a pop-up ad or window that includes a reference to "Gator" or "GAIN" in its Title bar.

How To Get Rid Of Gator With Ad-Aware SE

Gator is among the most widespread of all spyware utilities. If you unwittingly acquire it, a popular anti-spyware utility such as Ad-Aware SE will help you recognize and remove it. Start by opening the program and clicking the Scan Now button to search your system for suspicious programs. When the scan is complete, choose the Critical Objects tab to view the list of identified components. The list should include one or more Gator components. Select all of the spyware-related items and click the Next button. Click OK to verify your decision to remove the selected objects. Ad-Aware will move the selected items to a quarantine folder. If Ad-Aware cannot remove an item, you can cancel its removal or defer its removal until the next time you reboot. Close Ad-Aware when the quarantine is complete.

WARNING: The following section includes step-by-step information on how to edit the Windows Registry, a large database containing system and program settings that are essential to how the OS (operating system) operates. Follow Registry-editing instructions to the letter and be sure to make a backup of your Registry before you begin. (Registry errors can render your computer inoperable if you don't have a backup.) This procedure differs depending on the OS you use. For more information on backing up and editing the Registry, see these articles: "Protect Yourself" and "Register Here."

How To Get Rid Of Gator Manually

Because Gator-related software can attack your PC under many different guises, we recommend using an anti-spyware utility such as Ad-Aware SE to find and remove all of them. If you prefer to do things the old-fashioned way, however, you should start by determining which GAIN programs are installed on your PC. Open the Start menu, locate the GAIN folder in the list of installed programs, and select the corresponding About GAIN option. Click the For A List Of GAIN Supported Products On Your Computer Click Here link in the resulting window. A list of Gator-related components will appear on-screen. Take note of each component included in this list.

Next, access the Add Or Remove Programs (Add/Remove Programs Properties in WinMe and Win98) dialog box and look for the names of the Gator-related components installed on your PC. Highlight the first GAIN-related component you find and click its corresponding Remove or Add/Remove button. Follow the on-screen instructions to uninstall it. Opt to delete user information if you get the chance. When the uninstall is complete, click the Details button (if provided) to identify any remaining folders, files, and Registry values that you must remove manually. Reboot if instructed to do so and repeat the process to remove other GAIN-related applications installed on your PC. Uninstalling these applications should sever all ties between your PC and the GAIN Network.

You aren't done yet, however. The next step is to clean out the Registry for good measure. Open the Registry Editor and track down the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\RUN key. Peruse its contents for any values that refer to CME, CMESys, FSG_, GMT, or Trickler. For each one you find, right-click it and select Delete from the pop-up menu. Verify your actions by clicking Yes. Next, delete any keys or values that weren't removed during the uninstall. (These were identified to you when you clicked the Details button.) Close the Registry Editor and restart your system.

After Windows starts again, open My Computer and access the Program Files folder on the Windows drive. Locate and delete the WEBPT and WEBDM subfolders (if present). Likewise, open the PROGRAM FILES\COMMON FILES folder and delete the CMEII and GMT subfolders (if present). You also should delete the WINDOWS\TEMP\ADWARE folder (if present) and any files or folders that weren't removed during the uninstall. (These were identified to you when you clicked the Details button.) While you're at it, open the StartUp submenu on the Start menu and delete the shortcut that points to GMT.exe (if present). Use the Windows search function to locate and delete any files that refer to Fsg*.exe and Trickler.

Finally, return to the Registry Editor and delete the following key and values (if present):

� HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{21FFB6C0-0DA1-11D5-A9D5-00500413153C}

� HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Gator.com

� HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GatorTest

Close the Registry Editor and reboot your system to complete the process.

They do different things. The most recent "viruses" are really technically called "worms". These programs are usually loaded as attachments in emails, and then silently send out emails to everyone in your contact list. Other viruses attach part of their code to your device drivers, or commonly used programs, so that whenever you run that program it runs as well. Some will delete or rename important files, some will broadcast your information out to other computers, and some will attempt to perform operations that could damage your hard drive, etc.

Due to the high incidence of parasitism in puppies and the extended period of time that environmental contamination can lasts and the risk to humans from the most common GI parasites of puppies, the Center for Disease Control recommends that puppies be started on a preventative deworming program at 2 weeks of age and continued on it every 2 weeks until they are at least 8 weeks of age. Most heartworm preventatives are also labelled effective against hookworms and roundworms (the most common GI parasites in puppies) so once a puppy is started on heartworm preventative he will be getting a preventative deworming monthly.

trojan. this is a bad bad one i have ahd i before. basicly it hides it self in files ( like the trojan horse) and can delete, copy files or worse destroy your machine. however if u do a full scan it will pick them up and u can get rid of them. but this is a common one

Some do. Some worms live in a live host so I suppose you could say they eat meat.

Before you browse to the internet the best and safest way to do is to install anti-virus. There are many anti-virus in the market, you can have free trials or purchase you own copy. Be picky when you buy anti-virus software.

Usually the first action that a virus or worm performs is to replicate itself. This attempts to ensure that the virus or worm spreads before being detected by a payload.

A bug is a glitch in a program caused by a design flaw. Bugs can cause programs to crash or not work properly. A virus, on the other hand, is a program which was designed to cause problems on your computer. Viruses may steal your information and transmit it to another person, or they may be used to allow another person to take control of your computer.

Typically, no there are not. Also remember they are pre-cooked. There are times when store food does spoil, however it is not typical. I eat hot-dogs and will continue to eat them. At least in moderation.
Yes

Morris is the name of a computer worm that can steal your passwords.

Yes! But not under "normal" use. If you try to downgrade the firmware, you expose your PSP to it. Oh and Sony won't cover it for you when you brick it. the only device that i know of that wont get a virus is a macintosh.those things are VIRUS PROOF! Source: http://www.selvestr.com

Prolonged use can cause wrist/arm and back problems.

Any website can give you a computer virus. But I highly doubt that cartoonnetwork.com gave you a virus.

Maybe you deactivated it so make a new one.

ISP (Internet Service Provider) === Internet Service Providers provide internet access to customers and many also offer web site hosting and email services.

Online Service Providers provides services through the internet. You usually need internet to access them.

However, "online service provider" could simply mean you can dial into their service ("online") and it has no connection at all to the internet, which is the way most companies operated private data networks prior to the early 1990s, such as America Online, Prodigy, Telenet, etc.

Zombie computers are any system attached to a network that silently (unannounced to the user) perform tasks on the network to reach a predetermined goal. A computer system can become a zombie computer by being infected via a network transferable source such as via email, or via a local source delivered from a flash drive or other external source. It is most common for each zombie computer to be performing a small portion of the larger goal, and be part of a larger group of zombie computers that are all working together for the same purpose. This way, if one zombie computer is brought offline, the goal can still be reached. It also ensures that each infected system is not diverting a great deal of resources to the zombie process, which helps to ensure the zombie node is not detected and repaired.

Network consequences are dependent on what the task is that the zombie collective is working on, and how many zombie nodes are contributing vs the scale of the network they sit on. For example, if 10 systems on a network of 10,000 systems are infected, the likelihood of the network being bogged down by the zombie traffic is minimal. However, it also depends on whether the goal the zombie collective is trying to achieve is targeting the local network they are on, or something outside the network on the internet, as 10 computers working to overload a local server, may achieve some results, while 10 computers trying to overload Google for instance would have little effect.

Although this question can be interpreted as weird, some sanity can be found. There are several virus databases that makes study of different viruses possible. However, questioning something like this in this kind of way makes you not qualified for the link. Try http://www.virus-database.com/.
