“”A computer virus<\/b> is a type of malicious software<\/a> program (“malware<\/a>“) that, when executed, replicates<\/a> by reproducing itself (copying its own source code<\/a>) or infecting other computer programs<\/a> by modifying them.[1]<\/a><\/sup>Infecting computer programs can include as well, data files<\/a>, or the “boot” sector<\/a> of the hard drive<\/a>. When this replication succeeds, the affected areas are then said to be “infected” with a computer virus.[2]<\/a><\/sup>[3]<\/a><\/sup>[4]<\/a><\/sup> The term “virus” is also commonly, but erroneously, used to refer to other types of malware<\/a>. “Malware” encompasses computer viruses along with many other forms of malicious software, such as computer “worms”<\/a>, ransomware<\/a>, trojan horses<\/a>, keyloggers<\/a>, rootkits<\/a>, spyware<\/a>, adware<\/a>, malicious Browser Helper Object<\/a> (BHOs) and other malicious software. The majority of active malware threats are actually trojan horse programs or computer worms rather than computer viruses. The term computer virus, coined by Fred Cohen<\/a> in 1985, is a misnomer.[5]<\/a><\/sup>Viruses often perform some type of harmful activity on infected host computers, such as acquisition of hard disk<\/a> space or central processing unit<\/a> (CPU) time, accessing private information (e.g., credit card<\/a> numbers), corrupting data, displaying political or humorous messages on the user’s screen, spamming<\/a> their e-mail contacts, logging their keystrokes<\/a>, or even rendering the computer useless. However, not all viruses carry a destructive “payload” or attempt to hide themselves\u2014the defining characteristic of viruses is that they are self-replicating computer programs which install themselves without user consent.”<\/em><\/p>\n

I use AVG Free on my home PC’s, you should check with your internet provider to see what security software they offer. in Oklahoma Cox Cable offers a free 3-PC license for it’s customers, I don’t use it because I don’t like the firewall program that’s built into the McAfee Anti-Virus suite. But you have to look out for AVG’s tricky packaging because you’ll end up installing the trial version instead of the free version.<\/p>\n
