"What is a computer virus?"
When you are about to do something in computer, then
chances are that you might get infected by a computer virus. In simple words, a computer virus is an application or program that gathers all the information of its user and automatically deletes the file from your computer. It can be software or hardware based programs.
Now if your computer has any kind of malware on it. Then there will be various kinds of viruses, including Trojan, spyware, ransomware, etc. A lot of these virus attacks might have the same name as malware but they are completely different and different from each other. All of them attack files stored in hard drives. Therefore the virus affects the entire system.
How Does This Attack Your System?
A virus infects computer so that it starts doing unwanted things. The most common thing is that it damages or delete important data such as sensitive data, documents, pictures, music etc. So if hackers want some illegal or criminal action, they can use a computer virus to carry out their activities. Some are used for this purpose to steal bank information or identity documents. They can also destroy files with hidden codes in them.
The reason why people are getting infected like me is because our hard drive has many of these files stored inside it. Most of us don't know about this. For example, we had deleted our old email account. Now when I get my email account back then, my email account isn't erased if someone hacks our email account. There are several ways that one can hack that email account. One main way would be to steal passwords. If one wants to do some bad stuff to our emails, then he/she has to look at those passwords, and try to extract password with help of computer virus. Also, computer virus is very powerful tool that one use by hackers to do some serious crimes. Hackers usually know the exact names of emails that their victims sent it. When they do that, they get into the email address of the sender. Once they grab the email address of the sender and open an email from him or her, they then get into the email server's mailbox. After opening the mail, they will take control of the email contents and see what kind of content the email contains. That means that once they got access to the email server, they can view email records. Moreover, they can read the email and try hacking into the user's account. You should never open email from unknown source, even if you know about it. If you already opened the email, then it's better not to keep opening the email. Only open emails that you know.
The easiest way to get hacked like this is using computer virus. Even though, computer is always protected by antivirus, but computer viruses always find a way. Their aim is to make damage to your computer and destroy files stored in its memory. But unfortunately, this kind of attacks have no end, but only destroys files stored in computer. To avoid that, one need to clean his/her computer. Use antivirus regularly and scan the computer virus every now and again. However, computer viruses have changed a lot now. Now, they do not work effectively without proper detection. One need to prevent themselves from getting damaged by this virus attack.
How Much Time Do We Need To Pay Ourself Before Getting Malicious With Computer Virus?
The time you need to pay yourself before you can start using computer virus, depends upon many factors such as number of computers that you have installed into your house. Generally, there is no rule or regulation regarding how the computer viruses should be spread. Every virus attack has a different method and you need to follow them properly. It takes about 4 to 7 days to complete the infection process. Once you get the infection, it may take longer than the time you think. In this case, it's best to wait until you get a confirmation message of anti-virus which tells that your PC has been successfully detected as well as you can watch the log files.
