MALAWARE is a general name for all programs that are harmful; viruses, trojan, worms and all other similar programs.

A COMPUTER VIRUS is a program, a block of executable code, which attach itself to, overwrite or otherwise replace another program in order to reproduce itself without a knowledge of a PC user. Viruses can destroy files and disks. Even benign viruses cause damage by occupying disk space and main memory, by using up CPU processing time.

A TROJAN HORSE is a program that does something else that the user thought it would do. They are usually well disguised. The Trojan steals passwords and sends an E-mail to the hackers fake name and then the hacker has your account in his hands.

A WORM is a program which spreads usually over network connections. Unlike a virus which attach itself to a host program, worms always need a host program to spread.

Around the period of the Year 2000 transition it is expected that computer viruses will be spread by people seeking to destabilize the Internet.

Nov. 11, 1999
Patch Available for "scriptlet.typelib/Eyedog" Vulnerability
Microsoft has released a patch that eliminates security vulnerabilities in two ActiveX controls. The net effect of the vulnerabilities is that a web page could take unauthorized action against a person who visited it. Specifically, the web page would be able to do anything on the computer that the user could do.

About the CIH Virus

Yesterday and today April 26, 1999 we have received a number of requests for information about the virus for this reason we are posting the information below

Once the virus is triggered the first 2048 sectors of each hard drive in the computer are overwritten with random data. This area of the hard drive contains important information about the files on the computer. Without this file information the computer will think the hard drive is empty. The virus will also write one byte of data to the BIOS boot block which is critical for booting a computer. Writing to the system BIOS can be prevented by setting a jumper on most motherboards. Contact the computer vendor or motherboard vendor for assistance with their product. If the virus succeeds in reprogramming the flash BIOS ROM, there is no software remedy for it: your PC will no longer be bootable and the flash BIOS will need to be replaced or re-programmed in a special EEPROM programming device. Where the flash BIOS ROM is permanently attached to the motherboard, the entire motherboard will need replacing. The damage caused to the information on the hard disk is possibly recoverable by using data recovery services, and the success depends on the disk size, format, fragmentation etc.
