Viruses and Malware

• Glossary of Malware Related Terms
• Malware, viruses, what are they? by Tigzy, Developer of RogueKiller
• Common Malware Types: Cybersecurity 101 for beginners
• Dialers, Trojans, Viruses, and Worms Oh My!

An anti-virus program alone does not provide comprehensive protection and cannot prevent, detect and remove all threats at any given time. Anti-virus software is
inherently reactive...meaning it usually finds malware after a computer has been infected. Further, if you're dealing with

zero-day malware it's unlikely the anti-virus is going to detect anything. Anti-virus and anti-malware programs each
perform different tasks as it relates to computer security and threat detection. Essentially, they look for and remove different types of malicious threats.

In simplistic terms, Anti-virus programs use massive databases with different scanning engines and detection methods to scan for infectious malware which includes

viruses,
worms,
Trojans,
rootkis and
bots.

Anti-malware programs use smaller databases and generally tend to focus more on
adware,
spyware,

unwanted toolbars,
browser hijackers,
potentially unwanted programs and
potentially unsafe applications.

Anti-virus and Anti-malware solutions with anti-exploitation
features protect against
zero-day malware,
drive-by downloads,
exploits and
Exploit Kits.

Therefore, you need both an anti-virus and an anti-malware solution for maximum protection.

Important Fact: Keep in mind that
the user is the first and last line of defense and security is a constant effort to stay one step ahead of the bad guys. No amount of security software is going to defend against today's sophisticated malware writers for those who do not practice
safe computing and stay informed. It has been proven time and again that the
user is a more substantial factor (weakest link)
in security than the architecture of the operating system or installed protection software.

Security begins with personal responsibility. Common sense, good security habits, safe surfing, understanding security and safe computing are essential to protecting yourself from malware infection.
