Virus is an unwanted or illegal program, which affects your system software and user programs very badly. That means, it fully takes control of your programs and starts doing deletion, insertion, alteration, etc. Finally you cannot use your application program and lose your all application data. If it causes the same with your system softwares, it cannot even load the OS properly thereby raising some issues while booting the system. It leads to the system crash because of above root cause. So we have to take precautions for the virus affection. There are different kinds of viruses floating in the internet and we should be aware of it.

Virus: Virus replicates itself in the computer memory while getting initiated by the user. It also may contain some malicious code which affect your system files, user data, etc. Mostly the virus come as executable(.exe) which easily gets executed by the user unknowingly.

Worm: Worm is the evolution of virus but it doesn’t need to wait for any user action to replicate as it automatically spread themselves like automotive robot. It replicates computer to computer through mail and this is more dangerous than normal virus. It is always running in the background of your system.

Trojan: Trojan is a program which is very useful as an application in the foreground, but in the background it steals your valuable information without your knowledge. It always comes with downloading malicious software like keys, cracks, music, applications, etc. So you should download everything from trusted sites and try to avoid using unfamiliar web sites.

Spyware: Spyware also works like a trojan, but it is not harmful to your computer, instead it monitors and tracks your all action from background. It can monitor and collect all your information from your inputs such as credit card info, passwords, other important files, etc

Rootkit: Rootkit is a program, designed for getting administrator privilege to your computer. Once it is done, they can do whatever they want with your system.

From the above things your system will become worth to worthless, you losing your valuable data of your business and personal. So in this case you have to choose two options,
