Malware
This term is used to indicate every those programs that are installed on your grouping without your permission.
Often malware cause major problems on the coputer the victim.
It is always harmful programs.
Virus
The abut between viruses in the strict sense and other types of threats much as dialers, Trojans and worms is currently very nuanced.
The term virus has therefore become synonymous with "malware".
Virus poliformico
They are defined as those viruses that implement an algorithm that earmark the mutation to any infection.
In this way detection by the antivirus code becomes more difficult.
Virus boot
Types of viruses that infect the boot sector of floppy disks and hornlike disks.
Today there are almost disappeared.
Macrovirus
Attacking Word documents, Excel, Powerpoint and similar hiding inside of them in the form of statement novive.
Worm
Usually the worms do not need, much as classic viruses, bind to executable files but require user intervention to infect the system.
This barrier, however, is dropping for some instance because many worms to start self exploit vulnerabilities in the operative grouping that does not cipher the user through the covering of pertinent security patches.
Like viruses, worms include a piece of vindictive code (payload) and increasingly trigger a backdoor or a keylogger opening the door to other types of attatto from Network.
Trojan
The Trojan Horses ono a digital avrsione of stratagem used by Ulysses to enter the city with his soldiers.
The Trojans seem to want information that is not in order to force him to launch a information actually harmful.
Trojans not normally distribute automatically consistent viruses and worms and are used to install keyloggers and backdoor on the computer of the victim.
Backdoor
The Backdoor is used to take control of a machine as they unstoppered one or more doors "service" that earmark outside overcome every security measures adotate on the system.
Keylogger
They are vindictive programs that record the keys pressed by the user and then ritrasmettono password and personal accumulation in the Web.
Attention! If your grouping has found a keylogger, after his well eliminazioneè immediately change every passwords.
Exploit
Security flaws are present in the operative grouping and software.
The Network is full of code that earmark you to exploit these flaws to damages (have access to the system, take possession administrator rights, steal passwords and so on).
This is one more reason for matenere always constantly updated the code used (starting from the operative system).
