Virus affecting our computer, virus, malware, trojans, infecting the computer

What harm our PC virus and what are its effects? :

Most of us have ever wondered if there will be that day where we can navigate freely without fear of being attacked by virus, actually this is impossible as the search for world peace, while the web naveguemos always be prone to any attack virus, although we are equipped with the best antivirus or operating system , as hackers are always going to be developing more complex virus and as needs be limited, new faults are detected in the operating system and try to repair these, ie live in which causes a constant update technology.

For now we can only reduce their access to our PC virus by certain immunization and prevention strategies, so we must know which viruses can harm us regarding the use we give the computer in order to configure certain parameters of the PC and our use to prevent any contact with them.

When infected with these viruses, there are different effects that can be caused due to the high range of viruses or other harmful files, for example, modify a Windows registry gets slow our PC, or impede navigation or downloading files internet. So we know what types of enemies we are facing.

    
A virus has the ability to completely alter how our PC, is able to severely damage the hardware devices and can reproduce itself.

Worms: Worms are living in our PC and are the most common and easy to remove, are not considered viruses because they are harmless, their goal is to occupy the place getting slower memory our PC.

Trojans: These are the most annoying, since there is no known good heuristics to remove them, ie, they are difficult to detect by antivirus. They are usually housed in packaged software in rar or zip files, posing as a very attractive content, such as files that are sent by the chat for download, also abound in p2p programs like Ares, Emule, Limewire, etc..

Jokes: These pesky programs for teasing the victim, such as when you visit a link in a forum hosted, encounters a message box that tells the user endless comments, but these programs are not spies far destructive.

Hoaxes: Messages which contain a striking message to encourage the victim to visit and eventually other content is expected, usually are disseminated via email or simply web pages, most of these types of messages are spam or publicity always the most annoying as they are posted to our email and abounding in various websites.

After this brief overview of viruses and spyware known, I make knowledgeable of the most common methods of virtual infection and this will prevent largely decrease the risk of infection:

-Have good antivirus software original (one), the most recommended are the Kaspersky, McAfee, Avira Premium or NOD32. Also suggest that has an additional cleaning program like Ccleaner or antispyware like Spybot.

-Avoid placing magnetic devices with dangerous information contained viruses or trojans such as: pen drive, CD-ROM, memory cards, etc..

-No software to install aftermarket (pirate) that are not licensed and that you need a crack or keygens to get the full license, nor download Internet software than the same product page, lacking collateral or if suspected that their origin is doubtful.

- Do not open files that is sent by the chat, do not open emails from dubious sources.
