Malware and virus can infect all kinds of files.
No, not yet. They do get a very low percentage of malware/spy-ware tho. It's rare but does happen. So you should still use a (free) malware/virus program just to be safe. Mac's can still pass on virus's to Windows machines so most Mac Malware programs do search Mac files for Windows Virus executable's.
The most common malware software is Norton Anti Virus. They sell slightly more software programs than MacAfree. Norton will detect and clear malware from your computer.
MYTH: Macs, Linuxes, and any other non-Windows computer are safe from malware. TRUTH: This is completely false. Non-Windows computers are susceptible to catching an infection, but the probability of this happening is very low. Since Windows is the most popular operating system in the market, hackers and malware developers are most likely to target the platform. This is not to say that Macs and Linuxes won't contract a virus infection.
Malware can be very harmful to your personal computer so firstly you need to scan your PC frequently with a strong virus detector such as AVG or Avast to see if the threat still remains, then to be on the safe side, I would strongly recommend an anti-malware software, specifically designed to get rid of dangerous malware. The most popular is Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. It's also important to back up your files regularly in case you happen to encounter a virus that got into your computer before you had any anti-malware support or was able to hijack your computer via the Internet. In the case that you didn't back up your files and you don't want to buy a new computer or sacrifice all your important files, (eg. pictures, documents...) there are programs that are specially designed to cure certain viruses, provided that you know the name and/or problem.
American crows, in particular, are extremely susceptible to WNV, and have become the virus' primary host population.
Mammals in most cases are susceptible to the same viruses.
Most anti-virus agents should be able to detect and remove VBS/Agent malware.
Virus types vary. Most have at least one of the following goals: 1. randomly delete personal files 2. send your personal files to the virus programmer 3. destroy yous operating system 4. infiltrate (and maybe destroy) your boot sector and/ or BOIS
You most likely have virus which contacts radio statios and picks up music and plays it without your permission . download malware bytes anti malware , and avira antivirus and remove it A.S.A.P
The purpose of the vault is to quarantine files that have been infected. In most cases, these are new files created by the virus or the actual virus itself, but certain viruses infect files that may be important to you. The vault allows you to quarantine the files so that they can be healed when a solution is found or submitted for analysis. In most cases you can simply delete vault files.
Answer An anti-virus program will in theory keep viruses from infecting your computer. A virus is a type of malware. Malware is any malicious code that deletes files, steals personal information or does anything that harms the user. Different types of malware include iviruses, spyware, adware, worms and Trojan horses. Spyware is a type of malware and an anti-virus program is not promoted as a program likely to detect most spyware programs. However, anti-virus programs have been known spyware, I wouldn't trust your run of the mill anti-virus program to protect my banking information. If you are worried about real spyware threat I suggest you run an Internet security program instead of an anti-virus program. Internet security programs are programs with a number of tools that detect a wide range of different types of malware. I recommend using Avast Internet Security. To help stay safe online do not visit adult sites, bank online, open suspicious emails or try and download files illegally. This means if you want a movie, television show for example just pay for it.
Two of the most highly regarded free virus removal programs are Microsoft Security Essentials and Avast. They can be set to run virus scans when you are not using your computer, and have no malware or spyware.
