4. Give a brief description about antivirus software?
Ans: Antivirus is software that protects our computer from any kind of virus. It is also called anti-
malware because any virus is a malware against which it works. This software prevents viruses

empowers cybercriminals to carry out cyber-attacks.
• Lack of Technical Knowledge: Though people are using the internet easily, but most of them
do not have any technical knowledge about it. Such people get caught up in cyber attacker’s
behaviour by providing their confidential information on unknown links or sites.

3. What is Malware? Describe five types of Malwares?
Ans: The word Malware is made up of a combination of two English words Mal and Ware. The
word Mal is derived from the word Malicious and the word Ware is derived from Software. Thus,
we can say that a group of software is called Malware which is created to infect or damage a
computer-based system in one form or another. Computer viruses are a common example of
malware. Here are some common types of malware:
• Computer viruses: These malware softwares come into a computer and infect our data and
computer systems.
• Adware: These malware softwares enters in the computer system without permission and
silently sends users confidential information to cyber criminals through the Internet. This is
how these softwares act like a spy.
• Ransomware: These malware softwares lock the entire computer system or any important
document. The cyber-criminals then demand a ransom for unlocking the computer/document.
• Trojan Horse: These malware softwares initially behaves in a user-friendly way with the
computer user and later take control of the computer from the real user and hand it over to the
cyber-criminal.
• Browser hacking: These malware softwares hacks the user's web browser, change the browser
settings without any consent and automatically opens some web sites on that browser.

4. What is Cyber Security? Describe five types of Cyber Security Techniques?

Ans: A variety of techniques are used to prevent cyber-attacks. These different techniques are
collectively called Cyber Security. Here are some key cyber security techniques:
• Authentication: This cyber security technique allows a computer user to determine who can
use his computer system and who cannot.
• Strong Password: This cyber security technique uses a username and password to access a
system. Passwords must be complex and strong so that hackers cannot break or steal them.
• Encryption: This cybersecurity technique converts the data that user sends over the network
into unrecognizable special symbols so that nobody can interpret data during transmission.
• Antivirus: It is a software that protects our computer from any kind of virus. It is also called
anti-malware. This software prevents viruses from entering into our computer and even if
virus enters into the system, it removes viruses by scanning the computer system. AVG, Avira,
Norton etc. are some of the popular antivirus softwares.
• Firewall: This cyber security protects computers and computer networks from viruses or any
other type of cyber-attacks. It is a strong wall that protects our computer from all kinds of
malware and does not allow any unauthorized person to access our computer.
