MALAWARE

Imagine that if suddenly the computer off when you do the task and the other important documents because of virus. computer virus that is currently spread over many internet.

and this time have thousands of computer virus created by virus makers.

And at this time I will explain a few things about computer viruses

First, at this time the informatics world has known that Virus is a kinds of malware. What is malware? Malware is computer program that it is used to corrupt a software or operating system.

The meny types of malware there is computer virus, worm, wabbit, keylogger, browser hijacker, Trojan horse, spyware, backdoor, dialer, exploit, rootkit.

in www.xcode.or.id dedy kurniawan said computer viruses and Trojan horse is different. every malware have a different function and effect. But they have a function that is almost the same, is make the computer system trouble. that is the cause why all the malware as an enemy of the largest computer users. but malware is not a big problem if we know how to cope.

next,

Virus can live in many files but usually the main target of virus is functional file such as .EXE, COM, VBS, or boor sector, and some other file documents.

there are many ways to spread malware and infect to all computer users via USB flash drive, e-mail and chat room. at this time many virus makers use chat room to distribute malware, this is because more secure and is not suspicious.virus maker entry in one of the chat room and will send a link to all chat room users that they download a virus from that link. they have the underhand way that users interested in a chat room to go to the link that they tell and they change the name of the malware with famous software.

Then,

There are many solutions to prevent the malware does not spread to our computer. the easiest is install antivirus programs and anti-malware in the computer system.

always update anti-virus and anti-malware database every day. always be careful when someone send a link to that obtained when the foreign and file attachments that are not known

But if your computer have been infection you can use antivirus.

This is easy to us.

For example : smadav: smadav is a local antivirus at Indonesia. But now you can update smadav 2010. I think it is a good antivirus.it is not too hardly for your computer.and it can detected about 3718 viruses at Indonesia.

you can download it at www.smadav.net

The second is avira..this is a simple antivirus.it is no too hardly to do.

The third is node32. this is a kinds of hard antivirus.but it included good antivirus.it can detected about 1.024.381 viruses. But if you use node 32 you must have large free space of hardisk .because if yo don’t have, your computer will be slowly.

And the others, like Norton antivirus, AVG, Ubuntu Linux,Kaspersky etc.

At the last, we can conclude that malware is not a big problem if we know how to prevent it. and further more we have to be careful when entering in a chat room, and better we ignore the file or link that is sent by foreigners who do not know us.
