Viruses Work ( Download Full Seminar Report )

A computer virus is a self-replicating program containing code that explicitly copies itself and that can infect other programs by modifying them or their environment such that a call to an infected program implies a call to a possibly evolved copy of the virus. These software pranks are very serious; they are spreading faster than they are being stopped, and even the least harmful of viruses could be life-threatening. For example, in the context of a hospital life- ....etc

COMPUTER VIRUSES AND ANTIVIRUSES : AN INSIGHT



TYPES OF INFECTANTS:

VIRUSES: Small piece of software that piggybacks on real programs
WORMS: Computer program that copies itself from machine to machine
E-MAIL VIRUSES :Moves around in e-mail messages
TROJAN HORSES: Claims to do one thing, but does something else

VIRUS: WORKING PHASES

INFECTION PHASE: The file is infected
ATTACK PHASE: The infected file is run, and virus shows its action

Abstract
Self-propagating codes, called worms, such as Code Red, Nimda, and Slammer, have drawn significant attention due to their enormous adverse impact on the Internet. There is a great interest in the research community in modeling the spread of worms and in providing adequate defense mechanisms against them. In this paper, we present a (stochastic) branching process model for characterizing the propagation of Internet worms. This model leads to the development of an automatic worm containment strategy that prevents the spread of w ....etc

Recent occurrences of mobile phone worms like Cabir, Mabir and
CommWarrior have created growing concerns over the security of data
stored on mobile devices such as cell phones and PDAs. The fact that they use Bluetooth communication as their infection channel is a basic similarity between them. the nature, characteristics, and
spreading dynamics of Bluetooth worms are studied in simulation to aid protection. Some major findings sre:
1)The inherent
capacity constraints imposed by the wireless channel
,for example, interference and the Blue ....etc

Abstract
One of the most high profie threats to information integrity is the computer virus. In this paper, I am presenting what are viruses, worms, and Trojan horses and their differences, different strategies of virus spreading and case studies of Slammer and Blaster worms.

INTRODUCTION
The internet consists of hundreds of millions of computers distributed around the world. Millions of people use the internet daily, taking full advantage ....etc

A computer virus is a specially developed program that can copy itself and infect the computer system and harms your files in the system without the permission of Administrator. Now a days most commonly the term virus is used to refer to other types of malware, adware, and spyware programs that do not have the reproductive ability. Virus will be spread from one computer to another we transfer files via CD, DVD, USB etc. Virus will affect the performance of the computer system and slows down the PC to great extent.

ppt for technical seminar topic of cell phone viruses and security

A mobile virus is malicious software that targets mobile phones or wireless-enabled Personal digital assistants (PDA), by causing the collapse of the system and loss or leakage of confidential information. As wireless phones and PDA networks have become more and more common and have grown in complexity, it has become increasingly difficult to ensure their safety and security against electronic attacks in the form of viruses or other malware. ....etc

A mobile phone virus is a computer virus specifically adapted for the cellular environment and designed to spread from one vulnerable phone to another. Although mobile phone virus hoaxes have been around for years, the so-called Cabir virus is the first verified example. The virus was created by a group from the Czech Republic and Slovakia called 29a, who sent it to a number of security software companies, including Symantec in the United States and Kapersky Lab in Russia. Cabir is considered a proof of concept virus, because it proves that a ....etc

magine if killing flu viruses and other microbes were as simple as turning on a light.

Exposing a unique surface coating to light may in fact hold the key to protecting you from virtually all viruses and bacteria, including the feared avian flu.

Laboratory testing of a novel, permanent nano-coating, developed in collaboration by researchers at North Carolina State University College of Textiles and Emory University School of Medicine, has been shown to kill or inactivate most viruses and bacteria when exposed to visible light. Early tes ....etc
