Ever since computers have been around there were viruses. A virus is
a small program that infects all sorts of computer files. The virus is
passed by putting copies of itself in other files. The virus is then
usualy executed when that file is loaded into memory, and it spreads &
spreads and so forth. Viruses are made by people and are usually made
for damaging your computer system. Eventhough there are viruses that
don't do damage and there sole purpose in life is to spread, they can
get anoying. An example of a virus that doesn't do damage but pisses
you off if you do a virus check expecial with Microsoft Anti-Virus (
which sucks) is the tai-pan virus. This virus goes and infects .exe
files under 64k and spreads through out you pc system.
There are different forms of viruses, and a popular one is a Trojan
Horse. A Trojan Horse is by definition is a destructive program disguised
as a game, util,or an application. When this "application" or "game' is
ran a Trojan horse will do something to mess your system up while you
think it is running a game or doing something useful.
Another really nasty virus type is called a worm its a virus that breeds
itself accross computers usually by copying itself in each computers
memory. If a worm begins to duplicate itself so often in a system it
may cause the system to crash.
There are many forms of viruses boot viruses, file viruses, and the one
you all ready know about the Trojan virus.. A random example of a file
virus is the Friday the 13th virus, this virus infects .com and .exe
files and is 1808 bytes long and changes the system run time and also
corrupts programing. An example of a boot virus is the Big Italion.
This virus is 1024 bytes long and infects the boot sectors of disks and
hard drives. It also remains resident in memory.
Now basic virus protection can be uptained by the standard Microsoft
Anti-Virus that comes with DOS, but it isn't that good. One thing about
viruses is that new ones come out daily thousand and thousands a month.
A virus can not affect you hard drive in code form nor in exe form but
if the infected exe file is executed it will infect your hard drive. A
virus can also be contained in a zip file.Well anyway like I was sayin
MSAV sucks so get somethin else anything else that is released on a
regular basis.
Many people collect viruses and many make them.. I myself have a virus
collection and I think it is great to collect viruses. It is a good
way to get even with someone (heheh). If yah fool with viruses be
prepared your own may turn on you...
Since this is my first work I through a little help out to all you
learning hackers and virii people by containing a list of acronyms
in acro.com designed by me with the help of Mulder.. I am a firm
supporter to ThE X-Philez BBS and all H/P/A/V people..
Well Thats all this is Dark Raven signin off.. c-yah
