How Did My Computer Get A Virus?

Cyber attacks requiring computer virus removal are a constant threat to businesses all across Tampa Bay. Unfortunately, there are several ways that a computer can become compromised.

However, in our experience, there are a few common reasons a virus can infect a system.

• • Infected websites

• • Outdated software

• • Fake and malicious apps and websites

• • Pirated software applications

• • Online advertisements

• • Social media

• • Social hackers

• • Phishing and email attachments

What Are The Different Types Of Malware?

When it comes to cyber security threats, you may have heard several different kinds of jargon tossed around such as computer virus removal, worms, trojan horses, ransomware, or spyware to name a few. They all fall under the category of malware, which is short for “malicious software”. However, what is the difference between all of them?

Viruses

Just like the common cold can transmit itself from person to person unknowingly, a computer virus can transmit itself from computer to computer without any kind of human interaction. Computer viruses are the most common form of malware we see.

Worms

A worm is a piece of software that “swims” through networks seeking a specific target. These are often large scale attacks that target government infrastructures or military targets.

Spyware And Adware

Spyware and adware is software designed to install itself on your computer without your knowledge. The primary focus of this type of malware is to monitor your browsing habits and collect data for advertising purposes.

Trojan Horse

Trojan horse attacks present themselves as something of interest or value but contain malicious software. A trojan horse can contain various different kinds of viruses and in many cases will lay dormant for months before infecting your system. This can make computer virus removal efforts and data recovery substantially challenging.

Key Loggers

Key loggers are often delivered in a trojan horse attack and are designed to install without the user’s knowledge. They basically keep track of keyboard patterns and are intended to track log in information to bank accounts, email accounts and other targets of value.
