At this web – site, you will learn what is variety of viruses, and what antivirus software to deal with them, how to protect your PC. There is a problem that the user may not have guessed about the 'secret life' of your computer.

The figures given Microsoft, certainly approximate, and know the exact number of infected computers is hardly possible. With modern computer will be able to understand any housewife, but recent events show that the safe operation ability to control the mouse is not enough. Published statistics indicate that the modern user must have the knowledge to distinguish danger from advertising tricks. Hazards that may lie in wait for you here, hard to understand, much less feel. But they are.

Every day there are reports about the antics of the elusive hackers, virus attacks, theft of banking information, personal information and other dangers. Samoperemeschayuschayasya program Creeper, created in the early 1970's employee Bob Thomas BBN for the subsystem RSEXEC to demonstrate the possibility of inadvertent movement of programs between computers. Creeper is not no harm: the previous copy was destroyed, and the virus moves to the next computer. Two years later, in the fantastic novel "When Harley was the year" by David Gerrolda were described by the program, an exciting system like worms. The term "worm" was first used in John Brunner's novel "On the Shock Wave," published in 1975. If developers are the first computers, networks and network protocols could look into the future, it is quite likely problems with information security today would be less. First and foremost – protect your computer against unwanted guests.

The rapid development of methods of cyber attacks is increasing every hour. Recently, for example, the largest on line attack, whether it is online octopus, jump an avalanche across the internet, and so amazing with computers. This class of infecting programs often used unterminated vulnerability costing software or penetrated the host, using the carelessness of an administrator. Now the situation on the field of cyber threats has shown themselves interesting, cause the release of new yavilos disembodied Internet viruses. It is this kind of dangerous code has a long sheet of great hacker of the epidemic, to immobilize a large number of PCs across the Internet. It's about the virus Slammer, appeared in 2003 and spread throughout the global web, making hundreds of stills PCs on different parts of the globe. A key feature of privednnogo type viruses, which makes these malicious codes such, is just, self-reliance.

This, represent themselves, independent pieces of data that fall victim to the host through all sorts of software vulnerabilities. And once on the donor hearts immediately come to the activity, and no installations, the administrator will not need this case. This is caused by the extreme difficulty of detecting and operational control. Now every half hour, and can do a couple of seconds on the planet discovered a series of new Trojans and many more types of old Trojans. Therefore, the operational response to the replenishment of special software tools as well as obtaining the necessary updates to the software used in Depending on the reliability of the whole entire communication network.

Years, the activities of foreign companies, which measure a number of conditions such threats faced much before, proves that even with technological problems, the main factor is human. Much depends on the server administrator, in the case when we conduct a large-scale enterprise. On the example of the same medium-sized firms with limited staff personnel in the department is a plus in the transfer of technical points on it outsourcing. And IT outsourcing in the number of points can also be applied in the case of large firms, but here, in this case, his organization would be rather peculiar for particular organization. Ordinary computer operator should be careful when moving across the expanses of the IT space and conduct periodic creating backup.
