A computer virus is usually hard to detect if it's disguised as a harmless file, in the case of a Trojan Horse.This type of virus doesn't replicate itself like most viruses,but instead opens your computer up to

malicious imposters. Leaving you to wonder, how can you tell if you're computer is infected?

Some signs that may indicate that your computer is infected include:

Your computer functions slower than normal
Your computer responds slowly and freezes often
Your computer restarts itself often
You see uncommon error messages, distorted menus, and dialog boxes
You notice programs on your computer fail to work correctly
You fail to print correctly
Commonly no sign or symptom of anything untoward!!

Types of Viruses

But what are the types of computer viruses and worms that you're computer can come into contact with? The list of viruses is quiet long and complex. So, we simplified the list by mentioning few broad

categories of viruses that can put your computer and all your personal data on it, in danger. These computer viruses include:

Computer Viruses

Boot Sector viruses: A boot sector virus infects diskettes and hard drives. All disks and hard drives contain smaller sections called sectors. The first sector is called the boot.

The boot carries the Mater Boot Record (MBR). MBR functions to read and load the operating system. So, if a virus infects the boot or MBR of a disk, such as a floppy disk, your hard drive can become infected,

if you re-boot your computer while the infected disk is in the drive. Once your hard drive is infected all diskettes that you use in your computer will be infected. Boot sector viruses often spread to other

computers by the use of shared infected disks and pirated software applications. The best way to disinfect your computer of the boot sector virus is by using THE ANTIVIRUS BOOT DISK.

Program viruses: A program virus becomes active when the program file (usually with extensions .BIN, .COM, .EXE, .OVL, .DRV) carrying the virus is opened. Once active, the virus will make copies of itself

and will infect other programs on the computer.

Multipartite viruses: A multipartite virus is a hybrid of a Boot Sector and Program vruses. It infects program files and when the infected program is active it will affect the boot record. So the next time you start up

your computer it'll infect your local drive and other programs on your computer.

• File Deleting Viruses: A File Deleting Virus is designed to delete critical files which are the part of Operating System or data files.

• Mass Mailer Viruses: Mass Mailer Viruses search e-mail programs like MS outlook for e-mail addresses which are stored in the address book and replicate by e-mailing themselves to the addresses stored

in the address book of the e-mail program.

• Macro viruses: Macro viruses are written by using the Macro programming languages like VBA, which is a feature of MS office package.

A macro is a way to automate and simplify a task that you perform repeatedly in MS office suit (MS Excel, MS word etc). These macros are usually stored as part of the document or spreadsheet and can

travel to other systems when these files are transferred to another computers.

• Polymorphic Viruses: Polymorphic Viruses have the capability to change their appearance and change their code every time they infect a different system. This helps the Polymorphic Viruses to hide

from anti-virus software.

• Armored Viruses: Armored Viruses are type of viruses that are designed and written to make itself difficult to detect or analyze. An Armored Virus may also have the ability to protect itself from antivirus programs,

making it more difficult to disinfect.

• Stealth viruses: Stealth viruses have the capability to hide from operating system or anti-virus software by making changes to file sizes or directory structure. Stealth viruses are anti-heuristic nature which

helps them to hide from heuristic detection.

• Polymorphic Viruses: Polymorphic viruses change their form in order to avoid detection and disinfection by anti-virus applications. After the work, these types of viruses try to hide from the anti-virus application

by encrypting parts of the virus itself. This is known as mutation.

• Retrovirus: Retrovirus is another type virus which tries to attack and disable the anti-virus application running on the computer. A retrovirus can be considered anti-antivirus. Some Retroviruses attack the anti-virus

application and stop it from running or some other destroys the virus definition database.

• Multiple Characteristic viruses: Multiple Characteristic viruses has different characteristics of viruses and have different capabilities.
