| Re: There are some new defences for new virus threats - The year 2002 was a for virus more virus attacks as compared to 2001, then virus makers are predicting much mass-mail and data-exporting viruses. As stated by the Klez virus in 2002, the potential for instant spreading infections with this kind of attack is very big.
- Before two years, you actually have to run something in your system to get infected with a virus. If you became very careless to click on a mail attachment or load with an virus infected floppy disk, all hell breaks loosen on to your computer. All this changed now, thanking to the class of viruses called as blended threats. With viruses like Nimda and CodeRed, you can become infected merely by being connected to a network.
- Bundled virus threats are very sophisticated. They are not only spread through e-mail, downloads, Web page components, and shared network folders, but now are they will also destroy many of vulnerabilities in all of these, the way a hacker can able to do. Now their payloads would be a very big. The Nimda worm can able to infect the both personal computer and Web servers, and it also propagate via e-mail and Web pages, generates an administrator-level account infections in personal computers, and overwrites files on both local and network drives.
