Viruses
A virus is a program that is attached to other pieces of code, so that when the user tries to run the original program, they also unintentionally run the virus code. The virus code is designed to replicate itself and "infect" other programs, possibly in a modified form, and may also exhibit other behavior as well. These viruses can trash your hard drive or exhibit other malicious behavior. Dr Geeks carries the latest products and methods of ridding your computer of these viruses safely before it's too late.
Spyware
In the field of computing , the term spyware refers to a broad category of malicious software designed to intercept or take partial control of a computer 's operation without the informed consent of that machine's owner or legitimate user. While the term taken literally suggests software that surreptitiously monitors the user, it has come to refer more broadly to software that subverts the computer's operation for the benefit of a third party.
Malware
Malware is software designed to infiltrate or damage a computer system, without the owner's informed consent . The term is a portmanteau of " mal- " (or perhaps "malicious") and " software ", and describes the intent of the creator, rather than any particular features. Malware is commonly taken to include computer viruses , worms , Trojan horses , spyware and some adware . In law , malware is sometimes known as a computer contaminant , for instance in the legal codes of California , West Virginia , and several other U.S. states.
Computer Worm
A computer worm is a self-replicating computer program similar to a computer virus. A virus attaches itself to, and becomes part of, another executable program; however, a worm is self-contained and does not need to be part of another program to propagate itself. They are often designed to exploit the file transmission capabilities found on many computers. The main difference between a computer virus and a worm is that a virus cannot propagate by itself whereas worms can. A worm uses a network to send copies of itself to other systems and it does so without any intervention. In general, worms harm the network and consume bandwidth, whereas viruses infect or corrupt files on a targeted computer. Viruses generally do not affect network performance, as their malicious activities are mostly confined within the target computer itself.
Trojan horse
In the context of computer software , a Trojan horse is a malicious program that is disguised as or embedded within legitimate software. The term is derived from the classical myth of the Trojan Horse . They may look useful or interesting (or at the very least harmless) to an unsuspecting user, but are actually harmful when executed.
