   • Description
     • Effects of Malware
       • How to protect your computer system
         • • Strong security software (firewall, spam filter, anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-spam) • Enable OS updates • Staff training: caution opening attachments • Back up files regularly
       • • The computer may crash, reboot spontaneously or slow down without any logical explanation. • When a worm infects a computer, the internet connection may become slow as the worm searches online for other computers to infect. • Files may be deleted, become corrupt or encrypted. However, the worst symptoms of malware are often the ones that you do not see. Malware might be designed to record the keys that you press on your keyboard, for example, creating a text log that your computer sends to a hacker periodically. The hacker then scans the text log, looking for passwords that he can use to access your email or bank accounts.
     • Malware—software written to infect computers and commit crimes such as fraud and identity theft.
     • Main way to get infected- Web surfing , unprotected internet gaming of a website, shopping, banking , emails and instant messages
