ANTIVIRUS AND DIAGNOSTIC SOFTWARE

Types to remember:

 Malware – malicious software

 Spyware – stealing internet usage data and sensitive information
 Adware – advertising-supported malware or unwanted software
 Sandbox – virtual space
 Heuristic virus - detection of possible malwares, Trojans, or other threats
 Zip file – collection or one or more files
ANTIVIRUS PROGRAMS
Help prevents viruses and spywares from infecting computers.
FREE – signature-based detection
Paid – heuristics to catch new or zero-day threats

VIRUS, WORMS, AND TROJAN HORSES

Crafted to harm systems spreading through media, downloads, and email attacments.

TWO WAYS BY WHICH A VIRUS OPERATES:

 First type – replicating
 Second type – dormant

Types of computer VIRUSES

 Boot sector – infects master boot records
 Direct action – remains dormant on a computer
 Resident virus – inserts itself in a computer system’s memory
 Multipartite virus – infects and spreads in multiple ways
 Polymorphic virus – altering its signature pattern
 Spacefiller virus – cavity virus, occupies empty space
 Overwrite virus – spreads through emails
 File infector – parasitic virus, attached to a program such as .com or .exe files

Computer virus symptoms

 Slow performing computer
 Pop-ups automatically showing up on the screen
 Automatic multiplying/duplicating files
 Presence of unknown files
 Files getting deleted

COMPUTER WORM – type of malware that spreads copies of itself from computer to computer.
TROJAN HORSE – worm that doesn’t need to be attached to other software

DIAGNOSTIC SOFTWARE
- To diagnose and repair computer problems.

 Hardware diagnostic tools – physical devices

 Software diagnostic tools – computer programs
POST (power-on-self-test)
- Card or BIOS car. To figure out why a computer is not booting up

DOWNLOADABLE DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS

 Advance systemcare – clean your PC, boost performance, and security
 CPU-2- accesses various information about your computer

COMPUTER NETWORK
Interconnection of two or more computers

Applications of computer network are

 Sharing of resources
 Sharing of expensive softwares and database
 Communication from one computer to another computer
 Exchange of data and information among users
 Sharing of information over geographically wide area

Components of computer network

 Two or more computers

 Cables as links between computers
 A network interfacing card (NIC) on each other
 Switches/hub/routers
 Software called operating system (COS)

Network benefits: disadvantages of network

 Sharing - high cost of installation

 Connectivity - requires time for admnistration
 Increased speed - failure of server
 Reduced cost - cable faults
 Improved quality
 Centralized software managements
 Electronic mail
 Flexible access
CLASSIFICATION OF AREA BY THEIR GEOGRAPHY
Pan (Personal Area Network)
- Individual person
LAN (Local Area network)
- Small physical areas
CAN (Campus area network)
- Limited geographical area
MAN (Metropolitan area network)
- Between LAN and WAN
- Can be a single network
WAN (Wide area network)
- Cheaper and more efficient

NETWORK CLASSIFICATION BY THEIR COMPONENT ROLE

 Peer-to-peer network – devices connect directly and act as both client and servers
 Client-server – devices are divided into clients (requesters) and servers (proviers)

TYPES OF SERVER
 File server – storing, reviewing, and moving the data.
 Printer server – controlling and managing printing
 Application server – expensive software and additional computing power
 Message server – co-ordinate the interaction between users, documents, and applications
 Database server – allows the user to access the centralized strong database

NETWORK TOPOLOGY
- Physical or logical arrangements of nodes
Network architecture – refers to the design or structure of a computer network
CAPACITY OF NETWORK DEVICES
 Router – 4 ports
 Server – depends if how many clients you have
 Switch – 48 devices

CABLING
TOOLS USED IN CABLING;
 Wire stripper – to strip the wire malamang haha parang bobo
 Crimping tool – to crimp the wire to an RJ45
 LAN tester – to test the wires if tama ba yung mga pinag gagagawa mo
