Carefully Select Your Anti-Virus
WHAT IS VIRUS?
Virus is a software code that can essentially multiply itself to multiple entities leading to the sudden growth of these tiny computing elements or sometimes non computing entities also. An essential role played by these entities is that they are designed to perform the harmful activities on the data stored. They are also crafted to destroy, collapse or deteriorate the data.
WHAT ARE THE VARIOUS FORMS OF VIRUS?
Virus could take multiple forms, their form is specified by the type of harmful activity they are ought to perform. As some of the viruses are designed to keep an eye on the activity of the user on his/her system and are called SPYWARE, while other deviate the entire user data to their own IP address and are known as PHISHING. Even some others are designed to just fill up your inbox with lot of email which may be sometimes advertising and even sometimes it may contain the virus code itself and are referred to as SPAM, So as the sooner it is clicked the sooner it spreads. Furthermore, Trojan Horse is one such computing element which never multiple itself but always performs the disastrous task it is meant to perform.
WHAT ARE THE OTHER FORMS OF INTERNET HARMFUL ACTIVITIES?
Other than Viruses, there are various threats that are intentionally created to damage, not just the data but dignity and reputation of the user. As such we can say that, these viruses and threats not just effect data but personal life very badly. Some of the threatening methods are:
Denial of service
Trojan Horse
CyberBullying
Above defined are some of the crucial cybercrimes which are propagating with the speed of light, which need to be thought before the worry free searches over the Internet. Not, every Website or Web search is authentic, therefore, robust system and an augmented computing must be applied in order to have care free Internet usage.
Anti-Virus
Anti Virus is one such robust, resilient, durable, rigid and stringent approach to all the above cited questions. This is the package that is essentially designed to avoid and dome times stop the spread and activities of harmful malicious Viruses and E-threats. As against the viruses, Anti-Viruses are also computing codes, but are meant for the safeguard mechanism. Anti-Viruses are created to remove, delete, destroy, and stop Viruses or their functionality.
Features of Anti-Viruses
An Anti-Virus must be capable of the following functionality:
1. Anti-Spam - An anti-virus must be able to stop the effect of Spam messages, or emails. These codes mark the malicious or suspicious emails and messages as SPAM, considering it to be threat for the data storage.
2. Anti-Phishing - Phishing is the activity where, user data which meant to be sent to some authenticated destination is deviated to some unauthorized destination for the sake of misuse.
3. Anti- Spying - Anti-Virus must be so much capable that it could neglect the effect of Spying man or machine over our data. That is, may be with the help of some sort of gateway at the forefront of the Personal Internet.
4. USB Blocking - Ports are the most easiest way of virus intrusion into the system. These are the only way through which Virus can be inserted that too off line, therefore, not all USB should be allowed to be inserted into the system. Malicious USB must be disabled.
5. Crash Proof - This is an activity where, Anti-Viruses are offered with an additional possibilities of recoverability. The files and folders which have been deleted, lost, formatted or corrupted can be regained or recovered with the help of Crash proof. Here Image of entire disk is maintained after every regular interval which can be used for salvaging the data back.
