Spyware and computer viruses are a big problem that nearly all computer users face. The greatest defense against these parasites is awareness. If you visit web sites of questionable integrity or if you download files frivolously, you are taking huge risks. Many viruses these days are programmed with very harmful intent. They can log your keystrokes on your computer so that banking information is compromised. Granted, we've used probably the worst case scenario for our example, but this is a very real scenario that happens all the time. What is Malware? A program or file that is designed to specifically damage or disrupt a system, such as a virus, worm, or a Trojan horse.
What is Trojan Horse? Trojan Horse is also known as Trojan or Backdoor Trojan. This is an application that allows web hackers to make ample changes in your system. But this is not a virus by any means as it cannot reproduce itself. Following list consists of top 10 signs that you computer system or computer network is infected by a malware:
- Your system frequently shuts down spontaneously, even if you don't use it.
- Your Internet connection slows to a crawl even while you are not doing anything significant.
- Your Virus scanner crashes and can not be started again.
- You are no longer able to visit antivirus sites.
- Your hard disk fills up and you can't find the files that use up all the disk space.
- Your system suddenly attempts to connect to random IRC servers.
- Your mail server is extremely busy processing outbound mail.
- Nightly incremental backups are suddenly much larger then usual.
- New user accounts show up and nobody knows who added them.
- A given server (web/ftp/mail) keeps crashing for no apparent reason.
These are just a few signs that your computer system or computer network may be infected by a malware. Often, systems that are infected will spread to more systems on your network. Furthermore, malware outbreaks are commonly followed by similar viruses that exploit the same vulnerability which compounds containing malware outbreaks on unprotected systems. Because of this, malware removal in a network enviroment can be a very complicated process and time consuming process.
