ABSTRACT:
Computer use is becoming part of our lives every other day however there have been considerable threats of computer viruses in the recent past. Viruses have had adverse effects on data and programs ranging from formatting hard disks, damaging information infrastructure etc. The purpose of the review is to discover the impact of computer virus attack and provide procedures on how individuals can protect their personal computer (PC) against virus attacks. It is important to address the virus attacks and its protective mechanisms among the personal computer users in this electronic world. After identification of typical aspects which leads to computer virus attacks the possible solutions are put forwarded to personal computer users to overcome this virus attacks and their future improvement in computer usage. This paper defines a virus and explain its related terms like phases of viruses, types of viruses worms. It describes the general symptoms of virus attacks and the solutions apart from using anti-virus software, there are other procedures which can help protect against viruses which are also mentioned, the future of computer viruses and the conclusion that the Internet is serving its purpose of interconnecting computer and hence encouraging scattering of viruses then makes some recommendations on viruses.
