Virus Works

 Virus Works
==============


What is the virus:
 Kind of programs that are developed in order to produce effects of sabotage on the computers that hit, and write these viruses one of the traditional programming languages used by software developers such as the Basques or the language of Visual JavaScript, you must The virus is able to move from one computer to another in order to ensure a good way to spread among the largest number of computers, on the first virus for computers in the late sixties, but its impact was limited because number of computers was much less than it is now, as that personal computers were not have invented yet, at that time were not also the Internet has emerged for use in the general population, The limited capacity of computer networks to a large degree.


Why spread viruses have now: 

Now the situation has changed and the number of personal computers in the world is estimated that hundreds of millions as the Internet connection now has more than one billion people, allowing the virus a great ability to spread by taking advantage of the Internet as a quick check to developers, their evil viruses, experts estimate the number of computers hit by virus, for example, several millions of computers in a period not exceeding a few hours of the onset of the virus on the Internet in January 2004,
The Melissa virus was the most serious of the virus, which appeared on the Internet in March 1999, the forced Microsoft and a large number of global Internet companies have to shut down e-mail service for several hours Even experts can identify the new virus and the development of the necessary plans to prevent the virus from attacking the e-mail boxes customers of these companies. The virus, which is called love and it was not less dangerous than previous viruses, this virus has appeared in 2000 and was similar to Melissa virus to a great extent and later almost the same size and material losses estimated by the Experts from several billion dollars.


Why was it called viruses with this name:

 Launched the malware that spread among computers to occur the effects of sabotage on behalf of the virus because they are similar to viruses natural that infect humans, such as influenza virus, for example, from several aspects:

* The ability to spread rapidly
* Adverse impacts to those who endure
* Difficult to see and resistance
* You may remain dormant for a period of time before they show symptoms of infection
* The virus may change its shape so that makes it difficult for antibodies in the body and resistance programs viruses in the computer to recognize it.


All these elements made the harmful computer programs similar to viruses that infect humans, and therefore dubbed this Computer viruses, software name.
