As most users in the United States run Microsoft Windows™, most viruses are written to infect Windows™. Below is a list of common computer types of viruses.

Microsoft Windows™ Virus Protection

Computer Worm: This particularly foul program is one that self-replicates once it’s inside your PC. The “worm” attaches itself to another “safe” program and makes its way through your computer system or network. However, as the computer worm is also a self-contained program; file attachment isn’t necessary for propagation and infection. A computer worm can be “multi-headed” where it may carry out several various commands once executed, such as: deleting files, cloning, sending itself or other documents to other users via email, installing a backdoor into your computer system or network resulting in some rather unpleasant actions.

Trojan Horse: So named after Greek mythology, the Trojan Horse family of computer viruses appear to perform positive functions (such as a downloaded file, game, or font installation) prior to execution, then ultimately installs a virus onto your computer. Miami is home to one of the largest markets in the United States for these types of viruses and is also the Unites States gateway to nearly all business throughout the Caribbean. As a result, Trojan Horse attacks have been prevalent, crippling systems daily.

Macro Virus: This type of computer virus easily slips through typical virus detection. Miami businesses are particularly prone as these programs attach themselves to Microsoft Excel™ or Microsoft Word™ files, using Microsoft Windows™ software to replicate and distribute themselves.

Polymorphic Viruses: An ingenious invention, this program is both self-replicating and self-concealing as it alters its own digital signature every single time it replicates, slipping past typical virus removal protocols. Miami businesses have relied on Botics’ advanced anti-virus protection to both find and eliminate these types of programs.

Keylogger Virus: In late September, 2011 a U.S. military drone fleet in Nevada was found to be infected with a keylogger virus; The military should have called Botics! This virus type automatically tracks and records each and every keystroke and click made by the computer user. In this case, the virus was logging the controls used to fly the U.S. military drones.

2011 marked the 25th anniversary of the very first PC virus – the Brain Virus. Though not programmed as a destructive virus, Brain still spread around the world . . . via obsolete floppy disks. The virus simply contained the contact information of two brothers from Pakistan who just wanted notoriety.
