(learn more) Infection Definitions Adware Adware (or spyware) is a small program that is designed to show advertisements (in various form and degrees of intrusiveness) on your computer. It often reports personal information back to its owners. As a result your sense of privacy can be violated. Backdoor A backdoor is a small malicious program that is used to gain access to a computer by bypassing the computer access security mechanisms. It gives the attacker almost unlimited rights. While it can be used to spy on a user, it is mainly used to install other malware on the system. Heuristic A technique designed to detect malware by empirical means but without having the specific data. Malware A generic name for all types of malicious programs: adware, backdoors, rogues, trojans, viruses and worms. Rogue A rogue program is a malicious program that is disguised, for instance, as trustworthy anti-spyware programs or registry cleaners. But these programs are only put on the market to scare you into buying these programs because they make exaggerated claims about the safety of your computer or, worse still, give erroneous scan results or put their own malware in your system. Trojan A trojan (or Trojan horse) is a small malicious program that pretends to have a particular function, but that only shows its real purpose after execution and that purpose is often destructive. Trojans cannot multiply themselves, which differentiates them from viruses and worms. Virus A virus is a small malicious program that multiplies and is capable to attach itself to other programs after being executed. It then causes an infection and causes various degrees of damage to your computer. Worm A worm is often characterized as a malicious application that will use a host machine to infect other machines. Therefore worms can create enormous damage on networks with multiple computers. Rootkit A rootkit is a software system that consists of a program or combination of several programs designed to hide or obscure the fact that a system has been compromised.  In March 2009, researcher published details of a BIOS-level rootkit for PC's that is able to survive harddisk replacement and re-installation of the operating system.
