Input 1: The Danger Caused by a Malware

One of the dangers brought about by using the Internet is the risk of acquiring computer
virus and malwares. The computer’s system is just like a human body. It is also susceptible to
sickness. It can be infected by computer virus and malwares. An antivirus is used to scan the
computer so that it will be protected from computer virus and malwares.

Malware
Malware is a shortened term for “malicious software” which is designed to damage or disable
computers and computer systems. These can steal, encrypt, or delete sensitive data; alter core
computing functions; and monitor the user’s computer activity without any permission.

Input 2: Common Types of Malwares

1. Worm – The computer worms spread over the computer networks by exploiting the
computer system vulnerabilities. They can self-replicate and spread independently. Often, they
are spread through mass e-mails with infected attachments to users’ contacts.

2. Virus – This is a malware which can copy itself and spreading to other computers.
They can steal information, harm host computers and networks, steal money, create boot nets,
render advertisements, and do other wats to cause damages.
 3. Trojan Horse – It is also known as “Trojan”. To trick the users to download or install
the malware, it disguises itself as a normal file or program.

4. Bug – It is a flaw that produces undesired outcomes which are usually results of human
error and usually exists in the source code or compilers of a program. These can be prevented
with developer education, code analysis tools, and quality educations.
5. Adware – It is a short form of advertising-supported software, it delivers
advertisements automatically such as pop-up ads on websites and applications which offer free
versions that are bundled with adware.

6. Bots – These are created to automatically perform some specific functions. Some of
them are created for harmless purposes. Using captcha test which verifies that you are a human,
websites are being guarded from bots.

7. Ransomware – It holds the computer system captive while demanding a ransom. It

encrypts the user’s access to the computer by encrypting files to the hard drive or locking down
the system. Then, it will display a message forcing the user to pay the malware creator to remove
restriction as well as to regain access.

8. Rootkit – This is designed to remotely access or control a computer wherein the users
or even the security programs cannot detect. It cannot be removed easily because it keeps hiding
itself.
9. Spyware – It functions by spying the user’s activity without their knowledge. It spreads
by exploiting software vulnerabilities.

Input 3: Malware symptoms

These malwares spread easily and infect computers in different ways. But most of the
time, they have similar symptoms. Here are some of the symptoms when a computer is infected.
1. The computer or the web browser speed becomes slower.
2. the files rare modified or deleted.
3. the CUP usage increases.
4. There is a problem when connecting to a network.
5. It is freezing or crashing.
6. The running programs turn off or reconfigure themselves.
