Trojans, worms, spyware, and adware are types of malicious programs that can harm computers. Trojans masquerade as beneficial programs but secretly install harmful code. Worms self-replicate rapidly and consume computer resources. Spyware and adware secretly install to track users' activities and display unwanted ads. These programs are often spread through rogue websites, email attachments, and peer-to-peer file sharing. People can protect themselves using virus scanners, firewalls, and antivirus programs to detect and remove malicious software and prevent intrusions. Norton and AVG are popular choices for antivirus software.

Cyber threats have evolved from using computers as simple tools to commit crimes like cyber theft to targeting computers directly through hacking and viruses. As technology advanced, criminals began using computers as instruments to aid crimes like money laundering. Common cyber crimes today include financial crimes, IP spoofing, trojans, web jacking, session hijacking, mail bombing, and keyloggers. Cyber security tools and practices like antivirus software, firewalls, passwords, and awareness can help prevent and defend against cyber crimes.
Data Security
Data SecurityAkNirojan Data security involves protecting data from accidental or malicious damage, theft, and unauthorized access or release. Data can be lost through viruses, user errors, computer crashes, or hacking. To secure data, controls must be put in place such as establishing strong passwords, installing antivirus software, updating programs regularly, backing up data, and being careful online. Encryption also helps secure data and files during transmission by scrambling the data in a way that only someone with the encryption key can read it.

TrustArc Webinar: Consumer Expectations vs Corporate Realities on Data Broker...TrustArc Most consumers believe they’re making informed decisions about their personal data—adjusting privacy settings, blocking trackers, and opting out where they can. However, our new research reveals that while awareness is high, taking meaningful action is still lacking. On the corporate side, many organizations report strong policies for managing third-party data and consumer consent yet fall short when it comes to consistency, accountability and transparency.
This session will explore the research findings from TrustArc’s Privacy Pulse Survey, examining consumer attitudes toward personal data collection and practical suggestions for corporate practices around purchasing third-party data.
Attendees will learn:
- Consumer awareness around data brokers and what consumers are doing to limit data collection
- How businesses assess third-party vendors and their consent management operations
- Where business preparedness needs improvement
- What these trends mean for the future of privacy governance and public trust
This discussion is essential for privacy, risk, and compliance professionals who want to ground their strategies in current data and prepare for what’s next in the privacy landscape.

Is AI just another technology, or does it fundamentally change the way we live and think?
Every technology has a direct impact with micro-ethical consequences, some good, some bad. However more profound are the ways in which some technologies reshape the very fabric of society with macro-ethical impacts. The invention of the stirrup revolutionised mounted combat, but as a side effect gave rise to the feudal system, which still shapes politics today. The internal combustion engine offers personal freedom and creates pollution, but has also transformed the nature of urban planning and international trade. When we look at AI the micro-ethical issues, such as bias, are most obvious, but the macro-ethical challenges may be greater.
At a micro-ethical level AI has the potential to deepen social, ethnic and gender bias, issues I have warned about since the early 1990s! It is also being used increasingly on the battlefield. However, it also offers amazing opportunities in health and educations, as the recent Nobel prizes for the developers of AlphaFold illustrate. More radically, the need to encode ethics acts as a mirror to surface essential ethical problems and conflicts.
At the macro-ethical level, by the early 2000s digital technology had already begun to undermine sovereignty (e.g. gambling), market economics (through network effects and emergent monopolies), and the very meaning of money. Modern AI is the child of big data, big computation and ultimately big business, intensifying the inherent tendency of digital technology to concentrate power. AI is already unravelling the fundamentals of the social, political and economic world around us, but this is a world that needs radical reimagining to overcome the global environmental and human challenges that confront us. Our challenge is whether to let the threads fall as they may, or to use them to weave a better future.

DevOpsDays Atlanta 2025 - Building 10x Development Organizations.pptxJustin Reock Building 10x Organizations with Modern Productivity Metrics
10x developers may be a myth, but 10x organizations are very real, as proven by the influential study performed in the 1980s, ‘The Coding War Games.’
Right now, here in early 2025, we seem to be experiencing YAPP (Yet Another Productivity Philosophy), and that philosophy is converging on developer experience. It seems that with every new method we invent for the delivery of products, whether physical or virtual, we reinvent productivity philosophies to go alongside them.
But which of these approaches actually work? DORA? SPACE? DevEx? What should we invest in and create urgency behind today, so that we don’t find ourselves having the same discussion again in a decade?

Internet Security
- 2. Where do trojan viruses get their name from? Trojans tend to make users believe they are making a decision with a positive effect, but are misleading with this information just as the Trojans did with their horse.
- 4. What can Trojans do? Files that allow others to view others personal data. Trojans are also capable of erasing files from hard drives and even temporarily shutting down operations that normally occur with your computer.
- 5. Worms Worms are destructive programs that replicate itself many times. Worms can replicate themselves up to hundreds of times on a single node.
- 6. Worms also modify files, including registry files and files that are key for Windows to run. They also eat up your bandwidth which would make your internet speed slower.
- 7. Spyware & Adware Spyware secretly places itself on your computer and views transactions that are made on websites. Adware often appears as an advertisement and inevitably is harmful to the user. Spyware and adware both cause a great risk dealing with credit card fraud and identification theft.
- 8. Where can you find any of these malicious programs? Rogue websites P2P (person to person) connections Email box from random users
- 9. Solutions to these Problems? Virus Scanners Firewalls Antivirus Programs
- 10. Virus Scanners Virus scanners locate worms, Trojans, and other malicious programs and delete them. Virus scanners tend to locate these files by looking for patterns for certain byte strings.
- 11. Firewalls Work as a “wall” to your internet ports not allowing anything to come in without the users permission. Firewalls filter in everything that is being downloaded onto the computer online.
- 12. Antivirus Programs The most effective way to keep your personal computer cleansed of viruses Introduced in the early nineties and have been improving these programs since then.
- 13. Norton & AVG Two very popular antivirus programs
- 14. There are many evils lurking on the internet to corrupt your computer or even worse, steal your identity, credit card numbers, and even your social security number. Browsing the internet is a fun past-time, but needs to be done with caution. This antivirus software as well as being safe and smart with the internet will keep your computer running correctly.
