DIFFERENT

TYPES OF
VIRUSES
1. RESIDENT VIRUS:
Resident viruses set up shop in your RAM and meddle
with your system operations. They’re so sneaky that they
can even attach themselves to your anti-virus software
files.
2. MULTIPARTITE VIRUS:
This virus infects the entire system. Multipartite viruses
spread by performing unauthorized actions on your
operating system, folders, and programs.
3. DIRECT ACTION:
This virus targets a specific file type, most commonly
executable files (.exe), by replicating and infecting files.
Due to its targeted nature, this virus type is one of the
easier ones to detect and remove.
4. BROWSER HIJACKER:
Easily detected, this virus type infects your browser and
redirects you to malicious websites.
5. OVERWRITE VIRUS:
Like the name implies, overwrite viruses overwrite file
content to infect entire folders, files, and programs.
6. WEB SCRIPTING VIRUS:
This sneaky virus disguises itself in the coding of links,
ads, images, videos, and site code. It can infect systems
when users download malicious files or visit malicious
websites.
7. FILE INFECTOR:
By targeting executable files (.exe), file infector viruses
slow down programs and damage system files when a
user runs them.
8. BOOT SECTOR VIRUS:
One of the easier viruses to avoid, this virus hides out in a
file on a USB drive or email attachment. When activated,
it can infect the system’s master boot record to damage
the system.
