Trojan Horse Story For Children

What are they and one of the reasons why people make

Virus

In recent years, computers have become synonymous with viruses and viruses do not show signs of disappearing anytime soon. In recent news, LiveScience.com reported that "Before the month is done, April has set a record for the virus e-mails. "1 In the past, we would be comfortable in telling new users of computers not to worry about viruses and that catching a computer virus is rare. Today, it would be the worst advice we can give anyone. As reported in countless news reports, computer viruses are rampant and they are extremely disturbing. This article describes what such as viruses and then point you in the direction of a rather unique protection and prevention.

In short, a computer virus is a program designed to destroy or steal data. It attacks computers via distribution – often unknowingly – through email attachments, software downloads, and even some types of advanced web scripting. Viruses that destroy data are known as Trojan horses, viruses that explode their attacks are called bombs, and viruses that duplicate themselves are called to. Some viruses are a combination of both, but they can be identified according to location where they are on a computer.

A virus causing the boot sector of a computer is a boot sector virus and this nasty devil does his dirty work when a computer is turned on. A virus that attaches to (infects) other programs is a file virus and activates when an infected program starts. File viruses may also be known as parasitic viruses, however, should a work of both boot sector viruses and an infected program, the virus is known as a multipartite virus.

We had private access to the spirit behind a virus programmer who explained his motivation behind his destructive inclinations. Apparently this person had a deep grudge against a popular online service, which will remain nameless. In the spirit of the intruder, the online service did not do quality work to protect children from online coal and in retaliation, he created and distributed a virus file libraries as many of the service, as he could. His intentions were disable the computers of users of the online service as they would not be able to connect for days. In his mind, meant the loss of connection loss of revenue for the online service.

Although the malicious code that this person generated may have worked for a small percentage of users, suffice to say, the online service continued and still exists today. Despite his motivation or intention, his efforts were null.

We would not be surprised to find out if other motivations behind spreading viruses were similar to that person, but this does not justify the damage that viruses do. Innocent people become pawns for the evil plans of others who have convinced themselves they are "good" thing.

To protect a computer from catching a virus, or clean a virus from a computer system once infected requires the use an antivirus utility. But maybe something else we can do. Maybe we could make an effort to educate people who want to put viruses in the public about ways to display dissatisfaction with a service or product that do not harm innocent people. In doing so, we have perhaps reduce the number of news stories from viruses and protect our own investments the same time.
