Buddha Computer Services - Frequently Asked Questions

What are Viruses, Worms and Trojan horses ?

A virus is a program created specifically to invade computers and networks and wreak havoc on them. The mischief caused can be very minor, such as causing a funny image or cryptic message to be displayed on your screen, or it can do some serious damage by altering or even destroying files. A worm is slighty different in that it is self-contained and does not need to be part of another program to propagate itself. A Trojan Horse is a malicious program that pretends to be a legitimate application; it purposefully does something the user does not expect. Trojans are not viruses since they do not replicate, but Trojan horse programs can be just as destructive.

What is Spyware / Adware ?
