write types of computer antivirus and its functionality


There are three main types of computer antivirus:

Signature-based antivirus: It uses a database of known virus signatures to detect and remove malware.

Heuristic antivirus: It uses behavioral analysis to detect malware that is not yet in its database.

Cloud-based antivirus: It uses a network of servers to analyze files and detect threats in real-time.

All three types of antivirus aim to protect your computer from malware, viruses, and other malicious
programs that can harm your computer and steal your data.

write the meanings and difference of computer virus, computer worm and
computer trojan hourse
A computer virus is a malicious software program that replicates itself by modifying other computer
programs and inserting its own code. It is designed to spread from one computer to another, often
causing damage or disrupting normal operations.

A computer worm, on the other hand, is a self-replicating program that spreads through computer
networks without the need for a host program. Worms typically cause harm by consuming bandwidth,
slowing down network traffic, or deleting files.
A Trojan horse, also known as a Trojan, is a type of malware that disguises itself as a legitimate program
to trick users into downloading and installing it. Once installed, it can perform a variety of malicious
actions, such as stealing sensitive data or granting unauthorized access to the attacker.

The main difference between these three types of malware is how they spread and the type of damage
they can cause. Viruses and worms are primarily focused on replicating and spreading, while Trojans are
focused on gaining unauthorized access or stealing data.
