What’s the Difference Between Viruses, Trojans, Worms, and Other Malware?Clipped from: http://lifehacker.com/5560443/whats-the-difference-between-viruses-trojans-worms-and-other-malware |
Pentru cei care nu cunosc diferentzele intre toate astea , am gasit pe lifehacker.com urmatorul articol , destul de clar , enjoy :
Glad to finally put a name to the annoyingly threatening scareware? Does it irritate you when somebody calls spyware a virus? Be sure to send this article to them, and share your malware war stories in the comments.
What is Malware?
The word Malware is short for malicious software, and is a general term used to describe all of the viruses, worms, spyware, and pretty much anything that is specifically designed to cause harm to your PC or steal your information.
Viruses Wreak Havoc On Your Files
The term computer virus is often used interchangeably with malware, though the two don't actually have the same meaning. In the strictest sense, a virus is a program that copies itself and infects a PC, spreading from one file to another, and then from one PC to another when the files are copied or shared. Image by Joffley
Most viruses attach themselves to executable files, but some can target a master boot record, autorun scripts, MS Office macros, or even in some cases, arbitrary files. Many of these viruses, like CIH, are designed to render your PC completely inoperable, while others simply delete or corrupt your files—the general point is that a virus is designed to cause havoc and break stuff.
You can protect yourself from viruses by making certain your antivirus application is always updated with the latest definitions and avoiding suspicious looking files coming through email or otherwise. Pay special attention to the filename—if the file is supposed to be an mp3, and the name ends in .mp3.exe, you're dealing with a virus.
Spyware Steals Your Information
Spyware is any software installed on your PC that collects your information without your knowledge, and sends that information back to the creator so they can use your personal information in some nefarious way. This could include keylogging to learn your passwords, watching your searching habits, changing out your browser home and search pages, adding obnoxious browser toolbars, or just stealing your passwords and credit card numbers.
Since spyware is primarily meant to make money at your expense, it doesn't usually kill your PC—in fact, many people have spyware running without even realizing it, but generally those that have one spyware application installed also have a dozen more. Once you've got that many pieces of software spying on you, your PC is going to become slow.
What many people don't realize about spyware is that not every antivirus software is designed to catch spyware. You should check with the vendor to make sure the application you are using to protect you from malware is actually checking for spyware as well. If you come across a PC that is already heavily infected, run a combination of MalwareBytes and SuperAntiSpyware to clean it thoroughly.
Scareware Holds Your PC for Ransom
Scareware is a relatively new type of attack, where a user is tricked into downloading what appears to be an antivirus application, which then proceeds to tell you that your PC is infected with hundreds of viruses, and can only be cleaned if you pay for a full license. Of course, these scareware applications are nothing more than malware that hold your PC hostage until you pay the ransom—in most cases, you can't uninstall them or even use the PC.
If you manage to come across a PC infected with one of these, your best bet is to Google the name of the virus and find specific instructions on how to remove it, but the steps are usually the same—run a combination of MalwareBytes, SuperAntiSpyware, and maybe ComboFix if you need to.
For more on scareware, including a full walk-through of how a PC actually gets infected in the first place, check out the guide I wrote on removing Internet Security 2010 and other fake antivirus malware.
Trojan Horses Install a Backdoor
Trojan horses are application that look like they are doing something innocuous, but secretly have malicious code that does something else. In many cases, trojans will create a backdoor that allows your PC to be remotely controlled, either directly or as part of a botnet—a network of computers also infected with a trojan or other malicious software. The major difference between a virus and a trojan is that trojans don't replicate themselves—they must be installed by an unwitting user. Image by otzberg
Once your PC has been infected with the trojan, it can be used for any number of nefarious purposes, like a denial of service (DoS) attack against a web site, a proxy server for concealing attacks, or even worse—for sending out buckets of spam. Protection against trojans works the same way as viruses—make sure that your antivirus application is up to date, don't open suspicious attachments, and think long and hard before you try and use a downloaded crack for Photoshop—that's one of malware authors' favorite spots to hide a trojan.
Worms Infect Through the Network
Computer worms use the network to send copies of themselves to other PCs, usually utilizing a security hole to travel from one host to the next, often automatically without user intervention. Because they can spread so rapidly across a network, infecting every PC in their path, they tend to be the most well-known type of malware, although many users still mistakenly refer to them as viruses. Image by me and the sysop
Some of the most famous worms include the ILOVEYOU worm, transmitted as an email attachment, which cost businesses upwards of 5.5 billion dollars in damage. The Code Red worm defaced 359,000 web sites, SQL Slammer slowed down the entire internet for a brief period of time, and the Blaster worm would force your PC to reboot repeatedly.
Because worms often exploit a network vulnerability, they are the one type of malware that can be partially prevented by making sure your firewall is enabled and locked down—you'll still need an updated antivirus software, of course.

Primăria sectorului 6 va organiza, pe 14 iunie, o licitaţie pentru amenajarea Lacului Morii, suma estimată pentru investiţii în 25 de hectare fiind de 1,43 milioane euro, bani ce pot proveni din mai multe surse, printre care Ministerul Turismului.
Printre atribuţiile câştigătorului licitaţiei se află amenajarea de spaţii verzi, alei, locuri de joacă, pistă pentru biciclişti, parcări, un amplasament pentru debarcader şi unul destinat unui pavilion multifuncţional.
Lucrările trebuie să dureze cel mult şase luni.
În caietul de licitaţie se precizează că numărul minim de societăţi care participă la licitaţie este de cinci, iar cel maxim, de 20. Cifra de afaceri are o pondere de 100% în alegerea câştigătorului, se mai arată în caiet.
Firma care va primi contractul va trebui să facă demersuri pentru obţinerea de fonduri nerambursabile, potrivit caietului de licitaţie. Alţi bani pot proveni de la Ministerul Turismului şi Administraţia Naţională Apele Române, care au semnat cu primăria de sector un document în vederea începerii derulării şi finalizării proiectului "Lacul Morii, pol de creştere urbană a sectorului 6", cele două instituţii promiţând în scris fonduri din bugetul propriu.

Pur si simplu extraordinar , pe cand oamenii ies in strada, salariile scad, pensiile scad, cei de la privat sunt dati afara, ca doar e criza , se planuieste impozitarea tichetelor de masa, impozitarea programatorilor , si chiar o crestere a cotei unice , totushi bani pentru Lacul Morii exista, ca deh , macar sa avem pe unde sa ne plimbam daca nu avem altceva de facut ... Concluzia ? Spatile verzi ajuta la intdepartarea stresului, si duce la conditii mai bune de trai ... Sunt curios daca licitatia o sa fie publica ... In rest ? Toate bune si frumoase , ne vedem prin parc :D
