The Symantec bi-annual Internet Security Threat Report shows that there are more than a million of computer viruses, worms and Trojans in circulation for past 12 months.
Malware is software designed to break into or damage a computer system without the owner's knowledge and consent. Malware can be divided into several categories which are viruses, worms, adware, spyware, hijackers, toolbars, and dialers. It can hijack computer browser, redirect search attempts, and serve up nasty pop-up advertisement, track web sites and screw things up. In short, malware programs usually can slow down the computer. For my opinion, to prevent significant increase of malwares, every computer’s user is strongly recommended that he/she take the necessary ways to prevent malware infection.
1. Be alert for the computer. User should be aware if anything unusual has happened because this may be a sign of malware problem.
2. Install a reliable anti-virus program to minimize the percentage of malware problem. Furthermore, make sure the anti-virus program installed is up to date and run computer’s scans within a period of time.
3. Filtering unusual emails that received. It is encouraged to scan the email before read it because some of the malwares like Trojans and viruses are being spread over the internet by attached to email.
4. Never download and install any unknown program. Some of the programs and files could be attached by malwares; therefore, it is advisable that do not to do so.
