Because many viruses include a logic bomb — code that ensures that the virus's payload only executes at a specific time or under certain conditions — users or admins may be unaware that their applications are infected and will transfer or install them with impunity. Infected applications might be emailed inadvertently or deliberately — some viruses actually hijack a computer's mail software to email out copies of themselves ; they could also be downloaded from an infected code repository or compromised app store.
One thing you'll notice that all of these infection vectors have in common is that they require the victim to execute the infected application or code. Remember, a virus can only execute and reproduce if its host application is running! Still, with email such a common malware dispersal method, a question that causes many people anxiety is: Can I get a virus from opening an email?
The answer is that you almost certainly can't simply by opening a message; you have to download and execute an attachment that's been infected with virus code. That's why most security pros are so insistent that you be very careful about executing email attachments, and why most email clients and webmail services include virus scanning features by default.
A particularly sneaky way that a virus can infect a computer is if the infected code runs as JavaScript inside a web browser and manages to exploit security holes to infect programs installed locally. Some email clients will execute HTML and JavaScript code embedded in email messages, so strictly speaking, opening such messages could infect your computer with a virus.
But most email clients and webmail services have built-in security features that would prevent this from happening, so this isn't an infection vector that should be one of your primary fears. Symantec has a good breakdown on the various types of viruses you might encounter , categorized in different ways.
We've already met resident and non-resident viruses , boot sector viruses , web scripting viruses , and so on. There are a couple other types you might want to be aware of:. Keep in mind that these category schemes are based on different aspects of a virus's behavior, and so a virus can fall into more than one category. A resident virus could also be polymorphic, for instance. Antivirus software is the most widely known product in the category of malware protection products.
CSO has compiled a list of the top antivirus software for Windows , Android , Linux and macOS , though keep in mind that antivirus isn't a be-all end-all solution. When it comes to more advanced corporate networks, endpoint security offerings provide defense in depth against malware. They provide not only the signature-based malware detection that you expect from antivirus, but anti-spyware, personal firewall, application control and other styles of host intrusion prevention.
If you install an anti-malware app from a different company, Microsoft Defender will automatically turn itself off. If you install two anti-malware apps from other companies, however, they might both try to run at the same time. Don't open email messages from unfamiliar senders, or email attachments that you don't recognize - Many viruses are attached to email messages and will spread as soon as you open the attachment. It's best not to open any attachment unless it's something you're expecting.
For more information see: Protect yourself from phishing. Use a pop-up blocker with your internet browser - Pop-up windows are small browser windows that appear on top of the website you're viewing. Although most are created by advertisers, they can also contain malicious or unsafe code. A pop-up blocker can prevent some or all of these windows from appearing. The pop-up blocker in Microsoft Edge is turned on by default.
If you're using Microsoft Edge, make sure SmartScreen is turned on - SmartScreen in Microsoft Edge helps protect you from phishing and malware attacks by warning you if a website or download location has been reported as unsafe. For more info, see What is SmartScreen and how can it help protect me? Pay attention to Windows SmartScreen notifications - Be cautious about running unrecognized apps downloaded from the Internet. Unrecognized apps are more likely to be unsafe.
When you download and run an app from the internet, SmartScreen uses info about the app's reputation to warn you if the app isn't well-known and might be malicious. Keep Windows updated - Periodically, Microsoft releases special security updates that can help protect your PC. We recommend Kaspersky Internet Security. The video below will guide you through the installation process:. When you are removing a virus from your PC, it is a good idea to disconnect from the internet to prevent further damage: some computer viruses use the internet connection to spread.
Are you unsure of how to do this? Some viruses are programmed to initiate when your computer boots up. Deleting temporary files may delete the virus. However, it is not safe to rely on this. To ensure you rid your computer of viruses, it is wise to complete the following steps. Now it is time to run a virus scan using your chosen anti-virus or internet security software. If a virus is found, it may affect multiple files. If threats are found, quarantine or delete the files.
Now that the virus is removed, you can reboot your computer. Simply turn it on as you would normally. To protect your computer from further attack, change all your passwords in case they were compromised. This is only strictly necessary if you have reason to believe your passwords have been captured by malware, but it is better to be safe than sorry. Updating your software, browser and operating system will reduce the risk of flaws in old code being exploited by criminals to install malware on your computer.
If you use a Mac, you may be under the impression that your computer cannot get a virus. Unfortunately, this is a misconception. There are fewer viruses that target Macs compared with the many that target PCs, but Mac viruses do exist.
Some Mac viruses are designed to trick users into thinking they are anti-virus products. If you accidentally download one of these, your computer may be infected. If you think your Mac has a virus, here are six steps to follow to remove it:. To ensure nothing is missed and to keep your Mac protected, consider installing a running an anti-virus solution if you do not already have one. We recommend comprehensive internet security solution like Kaspersky Total Security.
A computer virus is a type of malware malicious software designed to make self-replicate, i.
