Do you recall about those bad guys I talked about before. Well I am sorry to say, this guys\u00a0are really creative, and the way we can be attacked varies in formats, sources and damage.<\/p>\n

Malware are the tools they use to infect our devices and steal\u00a0information, destroy data or damage our hardware and software. but what does Malware means? Malware is an abbreviation from Malicious Software… and as it sounds this is no bueno.\u00a0Worst of all, is not as if we could\u00a0be protecting from a single kind of malware. There are tons of them and they vary on its\u00a0objectives and the way they are spread among devices.<\/p>\n

Some of the\u00a0most infamous malware we can found are the ones bellow:<\/p>\n

Virus<\/h3>\n

Same as a real biologic virus this malware spread among unprotected computers. Its objective \u00a0is to damage the health of our devices.\u00a0modus operandi: create files, erase files, consume computer resources till it achieves damage. Worst of all, virus can duplicate and travel to other devices. Most common virus \u00a0spread is found through USB data sharing, and infected e-mail attachments.<\/p>\n

Worm<\/h3>\n

Same as real not technologic world, worms found their way through difficult places. making its way through memory same way a regular worm would do through soil. This malware does not damages or create files as a virus does, however; they can multiply themselves so much they can end up requiring all of your existing computer memory. Leaving you with a useless and slow computer. Super ability: this guys are almost invisible, so its hard for antivirus to detect them..<\/p>\n

Trojan horses<\/h3>\n

If you know the story or have seen the movie Troy, \u00a0pretty much it is what you might\u00a0be thinking. Trojan horses are master of disguise, they masquerade as regular programas, such as anything you could

\"\"<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div> in your computer. But on the inside its only pure evilness code. Since they disguise as normal programs they are able to acquire enough permissions to damage your devices. Luckily this guys don’t replicate and the only way they can achieve damage is through permission.<\/p>\n

spyware<\/h3>\n

last but not least we have spyware. as the name suggest this malware is about spying our computer. this malware can capture confidential and delicate information such as web browsing, passwords, messages, and other delicate information that we are so used to irresponsible type on our devices. Of course this data will be latter been transmitted to others over internet. \u00a0Since this malware doesn’t affect s performance, nor files, sometimes is hard to detect them.<\/p>\n

besides these\u00a0examples, there are tons of other malware that can be found. hopefully there are ways we can protect ourselves. First of all by knowledge\u00a0so we can behave a more responsibly use while browsing through internet. Also very important by using antivirus software. just make sure you are using official distributions, otherwise its pretty likely that\u00a0sooner or later you\u00a0would be dealing with an instant karma supply of\u00a0malware.<\/p>\n
