Technical Stop

                         Malware
               Short for Malicious Software

You've heard the lingo but do you actually know what it means....

Viruses: Small programs that attach themselves to other programs or documents and replicate, causing significant damage.

Worms: Viruses specifically engineered to make extensive use of email and spread rapidly.

Trojans: Programs that appear harmless but have a damaging or malicious effect.

Backdoors: Similar to Trojans and Worms, this enemy of your computer opens up a backdoor to a computer providing network access for hackers or malware to enter.

Zombies: Programs that install themselves on computers and remain dormant until some external  event triggers them into action.

Wabbits: Like a typical virus, Wabbits replicate themselves. However, this iteration has a no instruction to email itself or jump to another machine. It is completely content reeking clear and utter havoc with a single machine.

Exploits: Designed to attack and exploit a specific vulnerability, these evil programs keep Microsoft on its toes.

Rootkit: Here's one to avoid like the plague. Rootkits are typically installed by amateur hackers on other people's machines. Very difficult to detect and therefore remove, this type of malware often requires a complete reformatting of the hard drive to exorcise it.

Keyloggers: Keyloggers not only log the keys you press, but also capture screenshots to show the spy just what information you are working with. The results of the illicit keylogging are uploaded to the Spy's Web Site the next time you connect to the Internet.

Dialers: Dialers either dial expensive telephone numbers on your dime, or they dial hacker's machine to transmit stolen data.

Spyware: We're all familiar with this term for a type of malware that spies on your Internet comings and goings in order to provide you with pop-up advertising or to provide the spy with a record of your activities.

Phishing: While not technically malware, phishing scams are on the increase. You may have received an email that appeared to come from your financial institution asking you to follow a hyperlink to their site to update your password, or account data. Following that hyperlink takes you to a site posing as your financial institution ready to steal your sensitive data.

How can you protect your information? 

There are several low and even no-cost malware and phish-catching software options available.
