Curiosity: What If A Malware Outbreak Happened.

As the technologies advances, we can't stop the fact that Malware such as trojans, spyware, and viruses also advances. Experts say that even though you have safe web browsing histories, you have 70% of chance that would still get a virus from a safe site. In our generation and in the future, malware could be the end of us because we use technology literally for our daily lives and use. But what are the viruses that you can get from the internet? Here are some examples;

1. Direct Action Virus

 - A direct action virus is one of the two main types of file infector viruses (the other being a resident virus). The virus is considered “non-resident”; it doesn’t install itself or remain hidden in your computer’s memory. It works by attaching itself to a particular type of file (typically EXE or COM files). When someone executes the file, it springs into life, looking for other similar files in the directory for it to spread to.

2. Resident Virus

 - Resident viruses are the other primary type of file infectors. Unlike direct action viruses, they install themselves on a computer. It allows them to work even when the original source of the infection has been eradicated. As such, experts consider them to be more dangerous than their direct action cousin. Resident viruses are the other primary type of file infectors.

As such, experts consider them to be more dangerous than their direct action cousin. In a worst-case scenario, they can even attach themselves to your anti-virus software, infecting every file the software scans. You often need a unique tool – such as an operating system patch – for their total removal.
