Report On Computer Viruses

What is a computer virus -
Virus is any computer program that reproduces itself, reside on your system unknowingly and affect your system without your permission. The difference between a computer virus and other programs is that viruses are designed to self-replicate (that is to say, make copies of themselves). They usually self-replicate without the knowledge of the user. Viruses often contain 'payloads', actions that the virus carries out separately from replication. Viruses can be hidden in programs available on floppy disks or CDs, hidden in email attachments or in material downloaded from the web. If the virus has no obvious payload, a user without anti-virus software may not even be aware that a computer is infected. A computer that has an active copy of a virus on its machine is considered infected. The way in which a virus becomes active depends on how the virus has been designed, e.g. macro viruses can become active if the user simply opens, closes or saves an infected document

Phishing, also known as "brand spoofing" or "carding", is a form of fraudulent attack using email messages and replica websites to trick users into submitting personal information. Hijackers pose as well-known financial institutions, online retailers or other trusted companies in an attempt to acquire credit card numbers, social security numbers, and other sensitive account information

According to the Anti-Phishing Working Group, up to 5% of users respond to phishing attempts.
