 What is a computer virus?
A computer virus is a type of malicious code or program
written to alter the way a computer operates and is
designed to spread from one computer to another. A virus
operates by inserting or attaching itself to a legitimate
program or document that supports macros in order to
execute its code. In the process, a virus has the potential
to cause unexpected or damaging effects, such as harming
the system software by corrupting or destroying data.

Most dangerous computer viruses :- Klez, ILOVEYOU,

WannaCry, Zeus, etc.,.
 What is anti virus?

Antivirus Software is a computer program that

identify and remove computer viruses, and other
malicious software like Worms and Trojans from an
infected computer. Not only this, but an antivirus
software also protects the computer from further
virus attacks.
The first anti-virus software in 1987. Fix, a German
astrophysicist and amateur computer programmer
developed software to combat the first computer
virus "in the wild," which means that the virus had
escaped the confines of the lab or network .
 How an Antivirus works ?

An Antivirus works Using dictionary Approach The

antivirus software examines each file in a
computer and examines its content with the virus
definitions stored in its virus dictionary. A virus
dictionary is an inbuilt file belonging to an
antivirus software that contains code identified as
a virus by the antivirus authors.
Configuring an antivirus software ?

Configuring your Antivirus software Adjust the

settings to scan all files. Also, ensure that real time
scanning is enabled by default. Create a
recovery/reference/cure disk because if a boot
sector or MBR virus attack the system, it may fail
to boot. In that case, recovery cure disk can be
used to boot the system and remove the virus.
Read the vendors manual. This will help you to
understand the advanced options and how to use
them according to your preference.
 Some of the symptoms of infected
computer
Folder Options disappears from the Tools. Now,
hidden files cannot be viewed. Changing registry
values has no effect. Reedit doesn't works, when
you try to invoke it from the RUN box. Task
Manager has been disabled by Administrator. In
My Computer, Auto play option appears instead of
Open in every drive you enter i.e. when you click
on your drive letters (C, D, E etc) a window opens
to select any one program to Open with. Computer
becomes slow and there is noticeable delay in
characters to appear on screen when you press in
keyboard.
 Deleting Identified Virus files manually

Deleting Identified Virus files manually Identify files say like

autorun.inf or mswin32.dll.vbs in the root of all drives or in your
system drive. You can also delete a file from DOS. the command
DIR /w/a displays all hidden files and folders. with command
attrib -s -h -r <filename>.
Then del <filename> A virus also hides itself in the System
Volume Information and PREFETCH folder. So it might be a good
idea to turn off System Restore for a while. To prevent future
infections in your USB Drive, what you could try is create an
empty autorun.inf file and set read only attribute to it. This
should prevent a malicious autorun.inf taking its place .

Antivirus Effectiveness
Studies in December 2007 showed that the effectiveness
of antivirus software had decreased in the previous year,
particularly against unknown or zero-day attacks. The
computer magazine cut found that detection rates for
these threats had dropped from 4050% in 2006 to 20-30%
in 2007.
At that time, the only exception was the NOD32 antivirus,
which managed a detection rate of 68 percent Anti-virus
programs are not always effective against new viruses,
even those that use no signature-based methods that
should detect new viruses. The reason for this is that the
virus designers test their new viruses on the major anti-
virus applications to make sure that they are not detected
before releasing them into the wild.
 Antivirus Damaged files

Files which have been damaged by computer

viruses are normally damaged beyond recovery.
Anti-virus software removes the virus code from
the file during disinfection, but this does not
always restore the file to its undamaged state. In
such circumstances, damaged files can only be
restored from existing backups; installed software
that is damaged requires reinstallation.
Some popular Antivirus:
 When select an Antivirus Software ?

An Antivirus Software Real-Time Scanning antivirus

software is automatically running in the background
on a continuous basis, scanning files and folders for
possible virus attacks as they are opened or executed,
and checking e-mails as they are downloaded. Most
commercial antivirus software provide real time
scanning.
 Online Antivirus scanning

Some antivirus vendors maintain websites with

free online scanning capability of the entire
computer, critical areas only, local disks, folders or
files. Periodic online scanning is a good idea for
those that run antivirus applications on their
computers because those applications are
frequently slow to catch threats.
 Online Antivirus scanning cont....
• One of the first things that malicious software does
in an attack is disable any existing antivirus software
and sometimes the only way to know of an attack is
by turning to an online resource that isn't already
installed on the infected computer

INTERNET, INTRANET &
EXTRANET
What is Internet ?
• It is a Global network of computers,
(servers or clients).

to exchange information.

• It is a "network of networks" that includes millions

of private and public, academic, business, and
government networks (local or Global),
linked by copper wires, wireless connections, and other
technologies.
Hardware and Software of Internet

Variety of hardware and software are used to make

Internet functional.

• Modem
Device that enables computers to communicate through
phone lines.
When we start internet, our modem communicates to
modem of ISP.
Continued...
• Computer
In addition to a modem, you need a client capable of
handling multiple data types.
• Software
Two types of software’s required to enable your PC as an
Internet PC.
• Communication software to establish connection
• Client software for browsing, e-mail, news.

these software’s are provided with windows itself.

Applications Of Internet
• Download programs and files
• E-Mail
• Voice and Video Conferencing
• E-Commerce
• File Sharing
• Information browsing
• Search the web addresses for access through search engine
• Chatting and many more...
Disadvantages of Internet
• Theft of personal information such as name, address, credit card
number etc.
• Virus threats nothing but a program which disrupts the normal
functioning of your system.
• Spamming refers to receiving unwanted e-mails in bulk, which provide no
purpose and needlessly obstruct the entire system.
• Pornography This is perhaps the biggest threat related to children’s
healthy mental life. A very serious issue concerning the Internet.

Though, internet can also create havoc, destruction

and its misuse can be very fatal,
the advantages of it outweigh its disadvantages.
What is Intranet ?
• Internal company network that uses Internet standards
(HTML, HTTP & TCP/IP protocols) & software.

• Accessed only by authorized persons, especially members

or employees of the organization
Intranet Security
Two levels of Security required:

• Internal
It can be imposed by Public Key Security & Encryption Key.

• External Through Firewall.

 What is Firewall ?
• Security device located between firm’s internal network
(intranet) & external network (internet).

• Regulates access into & out of a company’s network based

on a set of rules.

Note : needs to be upgraded from time to time to check latest potential

security problems.
