ActiveX
ActiveX controls are software modules based on Microsoft`s Component Object Model (COM) architecture. They add functionality to software applications by seamlessly incorporating pre-made modules with the basic software package.Modules can be interchanged but still appear as parts of the original software.On the Internet, ActiveX controls can be linked to Web pages and downloaded by an ActiveX-compliant browser.ActiveX controls turn Web pages into software pages that perform like any other program launched from a server.ActiveX controls can have full system access.In most instances this access is legitimate, but one should be cautious of malicious ActiveX applications.
Anti-virus Software
Anti-virus software scans a computer`s memory and disk drives for viruses. If it finds a virus, the application informs the user and may clean, delete or quarantine any files, directories or disks affected by the malicious code.Also:Anti-virus Scanner
Armored Virus
An armored virus tries to prevent analysts from examining its code. The virus may use various methods to make tracing, disassembling and reverse engineering its code more difficult.
ASCII
American Standard Code for Information Interchange. Usually refers to coding system that assigns numerical values to characters such as letter, numbers, punctuation, and other symbols.Basic ASCII allows only 7 bits per character (for a total of 128 characters).The first 32 characters are "unprintable" (line feed, form feed, etc.).Extended ASCII adds an additional 128 characters that vary between computers, programs and fonts.Computers use these extra characters for accented letters, graphical haracters or other special symbols.
Attack
An attempt to subvert or bypass a system`s security.Attacks may be passive or active.Active attacks attempt to alter or destroy data.Passive attacks try to intercept or read data without changing it.See Also:Brute Force Attack, Denial of Service, Hijacking, Password Attacks, Password Sniffing
Back Door
A feature programmers often build into programs to allow special privileges normally denied to users of the program.Often programmers build back doors so they can fix bugs.If hackers or others learn about a back door, the feature may pose a security risk.Also:Trapdoor.
Background Task
A task executed by the system but generally remain invisible to the user. The system usually assigns background tasks a lower priority than foreground tasks.Some malicious software is executed by a system as a background task so the user does not realize unwanted actions are occurring.
BIOS
Basic Input/Output System.The part of the operating system that identifies the set of programs used to boot the computer before locating the system disk.The BIOS is located in the ROM (Read Only Memory) area of system and is usually stored permanently.
Boot Sector
An area located on the first track of floppy disks and logical disks that contain the boot record.Boot sector usually refers to this specific sector of a floppy disk, whereas the term Master Boot Sector usually refers to the same section of a hard disk.
Bug
An unintentional fault in a program that causes actions neither the user nor the program author intended.Cavity Virus.A cavity virus overwrites a part of its host file without increasing the length of the file while also preserving the host`s functionality.
Cold Boot
To start the computer by cycling the power. A cold boot using a rescue disk (a clean floppy disk with boot instructions and virus scanning capabilities) is often necessary to clean or remove boot sector infectors.See Also:Boot, Warm Boot
COM File
A type of executable file limited to 64 kb. These simple files are often used for utility programs and small routines.Because COM files are executable, viruses can infect them.This file type has the extension COM.
Cookie
Cookies are blocks of text placed in a file on your computer`s hard disk.Web sites use cookies to identify users who revisit the site.Cookies might contain login or registration information, "shopping cart" information or user preferences.When a server receives a browser request that includes a cookie, the server can use the information stored in the cookie to customize the Web site for the user.Cookies can be used to gather more information about a user than would be possible without them.
Direct Action Virus
A direct action virus works immediately to load itself into memory, infect other files, and then to unload itself.
DOC File
A Microsoft Word Document File. In the past, these files contained only document data, but with many newer versions of Microsoft Word, DOC files also include small programs called macros.Many virus authors use the macro programming language to associate macros with DOC files.This file type has the extension DOC.
DOS
Disk Operating System. Generally any computer operating system, though often used as shorthand for MS-DOS--the operating system used by Microsoft before Windows was developed.
FAT
File Allocation Table. The under MS-DOS, Windows 3.x, 9x, and NT (in some cases), the FAT is located in the boot sector of the disk and stores the addresses of all the files contained on a disk.Viruses and other malicious programs, as well and normal use and extended wear and tear, can damage the FAT.If the FAT is damaged or corrupt, the operating system may be unable to locate files on the disk.
Firewall
A firewall prevents computers on a network from communicating directly with external computer systems. A firewall typically consists of a computer that acts as a barrier through which all information passing between the networks and the external systems must travel.The firewall software analyzes information passing between the two and rejects it if it does not conform to pre-configured rules.Good Times.See:Virus Hoaxes
Macro
A macro is a series of instructions designed to simplify repetitive tasks within a program such as Microsoft Word, Excel or Access.Macros execute when a user opens the associated file.Microsoft`s latest macro programming language is simple to use, powerful, and not limited to Word documents.Macros are in mini-programs and can be infected by viruses.See Also:Macro Virus
Macro Virus
A macro virus is a malicious macro. Macro viruses are written a macro programming language and attach to a document file (such as Word or Excel). When a document or template containing the macro virus is opened in the target application, the virus runs, does its damage and copies itself into other documents.Continual use of the program results in the spread of the virus.
Memory-resident Virus
A memory-resident virus stays in memory after it executes and infects other files when certain conditions are met.In contrast, non-memory-resident viruses are active only while an infected application runs.
MP3 File
Moving Picture Experts Group Audio Layer 3 File. MP3 files are highly compressed audio tracks, and are very popular on the Internet.MP3 files are not programs, and viruses cannot infect them.This file type has the extension MP3.
MS-DOS
The Microsoft Disk Operating System. The operating system Microsoft developed for the IBM platform before Windows.Windows 3.x, 95 and 98 rely heavily on MS-DOS and can execute most MS-DOS commands.
On-demand Scanner
A virus scanner the user starts manually. Most on-demand scanners allow the user to set various configurations and to scan specific files, folders or disks.
Operating System
The operating system is usually the underlying software that enables you to interact with the computer.The operating system controls the computer storage, communications and task management functions.Examples of common operating stems include:MS-DOS, MacOS, Linux, Windows 98.Also:OS, DOS
Overwriting Virus
An overwriting virus copies its code over its host file`s data, thus destroying the original program.Disinfection is possible, although files cannot be recovered.It is usually necessary to delete the original file and replace it with a clean copy.
Password Sniffing
The use of a sniffer to capture passwords as they cross a network. The network could be a local area network, or the Internet itself.The sniffer can be hardware or software.Most sniffers are passive and only log passwords.The attacker must then analyze the logs later.See Also:Sniffer
Shared Drive
A disk drive available to other computers on the network. Shared drives use the Universal Naming Convention to differentiate themselves from other drives.See Also:Mapped Drives, UNC
SMTP
Simple Mail Transport Protocol. The Internet e-mail delivery format for transmitting e-mail messages between servers.
Sniffer
A software program that monitors network traffic.Hackers use sniffers to capture data transmitted via a network.
VBS
Visual Basic Script.Visual Basic Script is a programming language that can invoke any system function--including starting, using and shutting down other applications without--user knowledge.VBS programs can be embedded in HTML files and provide active content via the Internet.Since not all content is benign, users should be careful about changing security settings without understanding the implications.This file type has the extension VBS.
Virus
A computer program file capable of attaching to disks or other files and replicating itself repeatedly, typically without user knowledge or permission.Some viruses attach to files so when the infected file executes, the virus also executes.Other viruses sit in a computer`s memory and infect files as the computer opens, modifies or creates the files.Some viruses display symptoms, and some viruses damage files and computer systems, but neither symptoms nor damage is essential in the definition of a virus;a non-damaging virus is still a virus.There are computer viruses written for several operating systems including DOS, Windows, Amiga, Macintosh, Atari, and UNIX, and others.McAfee.com presently detects more than 57,000 viruses, Trojans, and other malicious software.(Note:The preferred plural is the English form:viruses)See Also:Boot Sector Infector, File Viruses, Macro virus, Companion Virus, Worm,
Warm Boot
Restarting a computer without first turning off the power. Using CTL+ALT+DEL or the reset button on many computers can warm boot a machine.See Also:Cold Boot, Reset
Worm
Worms are parasitic computer programs that replicate, but unlike viruses, do not infect other computer program files.Worms can create copies on the same computer, or can send the copies to other computers via a network.Worms often spread via IRC (Internet Relay Chat).
