Different Types of Computer Viruses

Different Types of Computer Viruses

There are Different Types of Computer Viruses could be classified in (origin, techniques, types of files they infect, where they hide, the kind of damage they cause, the type of operating system or platform they attack) etc. Let us have a look at them…

Computer Virus is a kind of malicious software written intentionally to enter a computer without the user’s permission or knowledge, with an ability to replicate itself, thus continuing to spread. Some viruses do little but replicate others can cause severe harm or adversely effect program and performance of the system. A virus should never be assumed harmless and left on a system. Most common types of viruses are mentioned below:

• Resident Viruses
  This type of virus is a permanent which dwells in the RAM memory. From there it can overcome and interrupt all of the operations executed by the system: corrupting files and programs that are opened, closed, copied, renamed etc.
  Examples include: Randex, CMJ, Meve, and MrKlunky.
• Direct Action Viruses
  The main purpose of this virus is to replicate and take action when it is executed. When a specific condition is met, the virus will go into action and infect files in the directory or folder that it is in and in directories that are specified in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file PATH. This batch file is always located in the root directory of the hard disk and carries out certain operations when the computer is booted.
• Overwrite Viruses
  Virus of this kind is characterized by the fact that it deletes the information contained in the files that it infects, rendering them partially or totally useless once they have been infected.
  The only way to clean a file infected by an overwrite virus is to delete the file completely, thus losing the original content.
  Examples of this virus include: Way, Trj.Reboot, Trivial.88.D.
• Boot VirusThis type of virus affects the boot sector of a floppy or hard disk. This is a crucial part of a disk, in which information on the disk itself is stored together with a program that makes it possible to boot (start) the computer from the disk.
• The best way of avoiding boot viruses is to ensure that floppy disks are write-protected and never start your computer with an unknown floppy disk in the disk drive.
  Examples of boot viruses include: Polyboot.B, AntiEXE.
• Macro Virus
  Macro viruses infect files that are created using certain applications or programs that contain macros. These mini-programs make it possible to automate series of operations so that they are performed as a single action, thereby saving the user from having to carry them out one by one.
  Examples of macro viruses: Relax, Melissa.A, Bablas, O97M/Y2K.
• Directory Virus
  Directory viruses change the paths that indicate the location of a file. By executing a program (file with the extension .EXE or .COM) which has been infected by a virus, you are unknowingly running the virus program, while the original file and program have been previously moved by the virus. Once infected it becomes impossible to locate the original files.
• Polymorphic Virus
  Polymorphic viruses encrypt or encode themselves in a different way (using different algorithms and encryption keys) every time they infect a system.
• This makes it impossible for anti-viruses to find them using string or signature searches (because they are different in each encryption) and also enables them to create a large number of copies of themselves.
  Examples include: Elkern, Marburg, Satan Bug, and Tuareg.
• File Infectors
  This type of virus infects programs or executable files (files with an .EXE or .COM extension). When one of these programs is run, directly or indirectly, the virus is activated, producing the damaging effects it is programmed to carry out. The majority of existing viruses belong to this category, and can be classified depending on the actions that they carry out.
• Companion Viruses
  Companion viruses can be considered file infector viruses like resident or direct action types. They are known as companion viruses because once they get into the system they "accompany" the other files that already exist. In other words, in order to carry out their infection routines, companion viruses can wait in memory until a program is run (resident viruses) or act immediately by making copies of themselves (direct action viruses).
  Some examples include: Stator, Asimov.1539, and Terrax.1069
• FAT VirusThe file allocation table or FAT is the part of a disk used to connect information and is a vital part of the normal functioning of the computer.
  This type of virus attack can be especially dangerous, by preventing access to certain sections of the disk where important files are stored. Damage caused can result in information losses from individual files or even entire directories.
• FAT Virus
  The file allocation table or FAT is the part of a disk used to connect information and is a vital part of the normal functioning of the computer. 
• This type of virus attack can be especially dangerous, by preventing access to certain sections of the disk where important files are stored. Damage caused can result in information losses from individual files or even entire directories.
• Trojans or Trojan Horses
  Another unsavory breed of malicious code are Trojans or Trojan horses, which unlike viruses do not reproduce by infecting other files, nor do they self-replicate like worms.
• Logic Bombs
  They are not considered viruses because they do not replicate. They are not even programs in their own right but rather camouflaged segments of other programs.
  Their objective is to destroy data on the computer once certain conditions have been met. Logic bombs go undetected until launched, and the results can be destructive.

How to mount DVD files.. ISO and etc..

Many a times when you download software you will get it as a ISO or a CD image file formats which are just a image of the actual CD drive. An ISO file needs to be burned on a CD or DVD so that you can use or install the software.

For those who do not have a CD / DVD burner this may cause a lot of problems as those files will be rendered as useless.

If you are one of those who do not have a CD / DVD burner or do not want to burn the image on a CD / DVD but still want to make those use the files inside the image you can do that with the help of Daemon Tools.

What is Daemon Tools?

DAEMON Tools is an advanced application for Microsoft Windows which provides one of the best optical media emulation in the industry.

With DAEMON Tools you can back up your physical CD/DVD/HD DVD/Blu-ray discs into “virtual discs” or so called “disc image” files, which run directly on your hard drive. You can also work with images created by other burning programs! DAEMON Tools supports variety of image types. Use CD/DVD image converter to have one format images in your Image Catalog!

A virtual disc has much better access rates than a physical one in a corresponding physical drive because the reading speed of a virtual CD/DVD/HD DVD/Blu-ray-ROM is 50x faster compared to normal drive.
With DAEMON Tools you would get up to 32 virtual SCSI drives and 4 virtual IDE drives that act just like the “real” physical ones.

No more CD/DVD drive noise. No waiting for disc loading. No need to buy external optical drive for your netbook. DAEMON Tools enables you to use your CD/DVD images as if they were already burned to CD/DVD.

Have fun mounting your ISO files. Good luck! Enjoy

CPU-Z

This tool is extremely useful, especially if you tend to overclock or make sure your system is reporting your information correctly. It will tell the voltage your computer uses as well as your core speed. Additionally, this program can tell you the multiplier and FSB or (Front Side Bus). These two setting can increase the processor’s speed. However, it is only adjustable if you have an unlocked setting in the bios that allows you to change the multiplier or FSB. Another useful thing this program has to offer is that you can see your clock timings via the memory tab and the divisor between memory and FSB. (The best divisor most people tend to say is 1:2 ration). Usually this is useful if you can adjust the clocks or use Nvidia System Tools to optimize your clock speed to make your computer more efficient and “faster”. This usually take a lot of practice though. Obviously there is a lot of information that most people would not know but nevertheless, this program is an essential tool to have.
