Cyber Security Awareness Month 2020: More Than A Virus, Common Malware to Watch Out For | Y-Not Tech Services - Lethbridge, AB Computer Help

More Than A Virus, Common Malware to Watch Out For

The term “virus” is often used to describe many different types of infection a computer might have. Virus, when used as a blanket term, can describe any number of potential computer programs. What these programs have in common are they are typically designed to cause damage, steal data, or spread across the network.

Malware describes software designed to act maliciously on a personal computer. The name ‘malware’ is a shorthand for ‘malicious software’ and describes exactly what it is. A computer virus is a single type of malware that can cause harm to your PC, but it is only one of many. [Read more…]

Cyber Security Awareness Month 2020: ALERT: Your Antivirus May Be Letting You Down | Y-Not Tech Services - Lethbridge, AB Computer Help

ALERT: Your Antivirus May Be Letting You Down

The best way to avoid a computer virus is by using common sense, but that doesn’t mean you’ll be safe from attack. Even the most careful user can find themselves infected in an instant and spreading the virus faster than a sneeze in flu season. It’s why antivirus software is still the first package we install on all systems – because you never know when you’ll be attacked. But should you choose free or paid antivirus? [Read more…]

Why Do People Create Viruses?

Well, it generally comes down to 3 reasons: Money, showing off their skill, or to simply being a jerk. While showing off or being a jerk is pretty self-explanatory, the money side is fascinating.

Here’s how people are making money with computer viruses: [Read more…]

Cyber Security Awareness Month 2020: The Trouble with Trusting Your Online Friends | Y-Not Tech Services - Lethbridge, AB Computer Help
