Virus, Trojan,
Spyware, Malware and Grayware Removal Service
Definitions to know
Adware
Adware (or spyware) is a small program that is designed to show
advertisements on your computer. It often reports personal information
back to its owners.
Backdoor
A backdoor is a small malicious program that is used to gain access
to a computer by bypassing the computer access security mechanisms.
It gives the attacker full control over your computer. While it
can be used to spy on a user, it is mainly used to install other
malware on the system.
Heuristic
A technique designed to detect malware by empirical means but without
having the specific data.
Malware
A generic name for all types of malicious programs: adware, backdoors,
rogues, trojans, viruses and worms.
Rogue
A rogue program is a malicious program that is disguised as another
program like a anti-spyware program. But they are only put on the
market to scare you into buying their product by making exaggerated
claims about the safety of your computer.
Trojan
A trojan (or Trojan horse) is a small malicious program that pretends
to have a particular function, but shows its real purpose after
execution and is often destructive. Trojans cannot multiply themselves,
which differentiates them from viruses and worms.
Virus
A virus is a small malicious program that multiplies and is capable
to attach itself to other programs after being executed. It then
causes an infection and causes various degrees of damage to your
computer.
Worm
A worm is often characterized as a malicious application that will
use a host machine to infect other machines. Therefore worms can
create enormous damage on networks with multiple computers.
Rootkit
A rootkit is a software system that consists of a program or combination
of several programs designed to hide or obscure the fact that a
system has been compromised. In March 2009, researcher published
details of a BIOS-level rootkit for PC's that is able to survive
harddisk replacement and re-installation of the operating system.
