Information Warfare: Malicious Software and Technology The amount of software code that you come into daily contact with could vary from a few lines of code that might be in your digital watch to the several million lines required to control a modern fly-by-wire aircraft. Because the hardware is standard, the software that controls the hardware and serves as the interface between the hardware and the application (i.e., drivers) relies on the same set of commands to access the hardware. Other documented means of dissemination have included shrink-wrapped software obtained from a major software manufacturer; there have been several cases of this, and they have been traced back to infected files in the compiler used in the development of the original software. www.fas.org /irp/agency/army/tradoc/usaic/mipb/1997-1/potter.htm   (2319 words)

Antivirus World - What is a computer virus?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) Because software is often designed with security features to prevent unauthorized use of system resources, many viruses must exploit software bugs in a system or application to spread. Closed-source software development as practiced by Microsoft and other commercial software companies is also seen by some as a security weakness. This practice is known as "on-access scanning." Anti-virus software does not change the underlying capability of host software to transmit viruses. www.antivirusworld.com /articles/computer-virus.php   (2223 words)

BBC NEWS | Technology | Mobiles get anti-virus protection Ollie Whitehouse, technical manager at Symantec said the release of the anti-virus software was "timely". Anti-virus software for phones was also important, he said, because the software in phones, unlike PCs, is hard to update. Once installed the software keeps an eye on what is done with the phone and scans downloaded files and extras such as memory cards to ensure viruses do not sneak through. news.bbc.co.uk /1/hi/technology/4207476.stm   (602 words)

Computer Viruses, Trojan Horses and Logic Bombs Prototype Software companies responded to the virus problem by developing a number of anti-viral programs. The Trojan horse programs are as variable as any other possible software program in their actions, and these Trojan horse programs may be used by criminals to commit fraud, embezzlement, sabotage and espionage. Software was the traditional source of Trojan horses, though many current web sites insert a small piece of code (a cookie) into your browser file, which may contain a Trojan horse. lrs.ed.uiuc.edu /wp/crime/viruses.htm   (1233 words)

Viruses, Trojans, Worms, Anti-Virus Software Protection If you have been anywhere near a computer in the last few years, or if you listen to the nightly news, you know that we are not talking about colds, condoms or fish bait. Software viruses have been around for so long that the term virus is used generically to refer to viruses, Trojans, worms and other nasties. Rogue software disguised as a lamb, say a downloaded game or an email attachment, becomes activated and turns into a wolf, say a key logger that reports your every key stroke back to someone with unknown intentions. computeraxe.com /anti_virus.shtml   (1141 words)

Assumption College: Information Technology Department Viruses have become more of a problem in recent years, primarily because more people are sharing software in the public domain or on bulletin boards; these distribution media make it very easy for undetected viruses to spread quickly. Although it's important to be aware of the potential presence of viruses, rest assured that unusual behavior is most often due to bugs in software or conflicts between drivers, TSRs and other software. Certain software programs prevent viruses from infecting your computer by noting viral-like activity; other programs examine disks or files for viral code (usually on demand) and can identify and remove existing viruses. www.assumption.edu /dept/cserve/virus/virus.html   (550 words)

BuyerZone.com | Business Software: With email, anti-virus software is a must Anti-virus software was developed to combat these viruses. We don't recommend it, for a few reasons: First, demo software does not contain the latest updates, and once you get to the point of requesting your first update, almost all companies will require payment for the full software anyhow. Since anti-virus software will be continuously running in the background, be aware that some programs can cut computer performance speed by up to 6%. www.buyerzone.com /software/business_software/email.html   (653 words)

Mars Hill College - Current Virus Informaiton   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) Until such time as computer operating systems and software become totally immune from attack by computer viruses, there are several things you can do to protect your computer from the potentially irreparable harm that they can cause. All virus protection software provide updates to their virus signatures and most can be configured to perform "auto-updates". Auto-updates instruct your computer at a specified time to automatically update your virus software to prevent your machine from being infected with new viruses. www.its.mhc.edu /antivirus   (446 words)

Protecting Against Viruses on a PC Run anti-viral scanning software, such as VirusScan, right before you backup to make sure that your backups do not become infected and to ensure that your system is not infected. As soon as you are notified of a new virus and subsequent release of anti-viral software, (through bulletin boards such as comp.virus, electronic mail, newsletters, the grapevine), install the new release as soon as possible. Install current releases of anti-viral software and periodically check to see that the anti-viral software is still on each computer. www.stanford.edu /group/itss-customer/docs/old-pc_virus.html   (2220 words)

Quarterly Virus Report: January - March, 1996 Now that protection is nearly universal, it is likely that incidents will continue to grow in proportion with the number of viruses in the general community (in the wild, as it is known), which increases daily. The current software is not licensed for home use, and users thus are expected to purchase and maintain their own anti-viral software. Algorithmically, anti-viral software companies are having trouble implementing a generic detection mechanism and are being forced to revert to archaic signature-checking technology. www.microtech.doe.gov /assist/QVR/QVR96-1.HTML   (1286 words)

anti-virus software Anti-virus (or "anti-viral") software is a class of program that searches your hard drive and floppy disks for any known or potential viruses. When a virus is detected, the software is geared to remove the offending virus, make a record of the event and restore the corrected file to active use. While TECNET is now proud to offer a front line of protection against the most serious of PC and MAC client viral attacks, it is still wise to install and use one of the DoD sanctioned anti-virus programs to screen all incoming files on your remote system. www.sycamorecomputers.homestead.com /files/anti_virus.htm   (719 words)

AntiOnline - Names Viruses work and spread (within the infected system) by attaching themselves to other pieces of software (or in the case of macro viruses, documents), such that during the execution of the program the viral code is executed. Modern anti-viral software strengthen this broader sense of the term as their operation is never limited to viruses. Malware should not be confused with defective software, that is, software which is intended for a legitimate purpose but has errors or bugs. www.antionline.com /showthread.php?threadid=267576&pagenumber=1   (1073 words)

UO Microcomputer Services Safe Computing at The University of Oregon Most anti-viral software is designed to remove an infection once it is discovered, but all anti-virus software works best as prevention against infection. While most of the reliable anti-viral software is commercial or shareware, some freeware programs are available that can protect against many common viruses.
