Definitions of Virus

Dear All,
As far as per for research analysts review this post will provided enough information about the virus informations and its logical operations.
Virus: A malicious program which attack the computers programmed by the hackers.
The Primary obective of these programs is to steal the personal informations and data's of the users with out their knowledge.
The secondary objective is to create fake advaertisements in order to purchase unwanted fake Anti virus software.
The Tertiary objective is to corrupt the system files there by the computer might get crashed. To perform these kinds of illegal operations hackers starts to create codes which is commonly called as Malware - malicious software . It includes Computer Viruses,Worm,Torjan Horses,Spyware,Rootkits,Dishonest Adware and Crime ware.

Computer Virus : It is a computer program that can copy itself and infect a computer without
the permission or knowledge of the owner (in some form of executable code).

Worm: Is a self-replicating computer program which uses a network to send copies of itself to other nodes (computers on the network) and it may do so without any user intervention.

Trojan Horses : Trojan horses are not self-replicating which distinguishes them from viruses and worms. Additionally, they require interaction with a hacker to fulfil their purpose.

The hacker need not be the individual responsible for distributing the Trojan horse. It is possible for hackers to scan computers on a network using a port scanner in the hope of finding one with a Trojan horse installed.

Rootkit: A software system that consists of a program or combination of several programs designed to hide or obscure the fact that a system has been compromised. An attacker may use a

rootkit to replace vital system executables, which may then be used to hide processes and files the attacker has installed, along with the presence of the rootkit.

Spyware : It is installed surreptitiously on personal computers to collect information about users, their computer or browsing habits without their informed consent It also suggests software that secretly monitors the user's behavior, by simple monitoring.It can collect various types of personal information, such as Internet surfing habits and sites that have been visited, but can also interfere with user control of the computer in other ways, such as installing additional software and redirecting Web browser activity.


Adware : Advertising-supported software is any software package which automatically plays, displays, or downloads advertisements to a computer after the software is installed on it or while the application is being used.

Crime ware: It works in order to access a computer user's online accounts at financial services companies and online retailers for the purpose of taking funds from those accounts or completing unauthorized transactions that enrich the thief controlling the crimeware.

Hence the above are the definitions which clearly gives you an idea about what is a virus, and its purpose as well as its logical operation. As per our research analysts review the target of hackers is the users or the owners computers, so according to our recent analysis about Cyber crime and its rate in globally plotted as below :

Up to recent update and the attack rate may very but the attacker target is the users computer.Therefore the above article gives an good idea and create an awareness from being hacked.

If you have any queries or clarifications do revert us back.
