The italic part is the name of a virus. If your computer has a virus, you might want to install a security system if you don't already have one, and if you have one, do a scan on your computer. I recommend AVG Security system with Mozilla Firefox, good protection and fast search time with this combo for those who need. Also you can pick up hardware cleaning discs at a nearby supply store, or give your computer to them and they will clean it but you will have to pay up to 100.00 (prices vary upon location). Answer from an 11 year old girl.
Run your anti-virus software on a scandelete detected files.
Viruses are designed to harm the computer. These no such thing as a virus that does not cause harm to computers. If your virus scanner detected a virus, the damage is already done.
Computer Virus Signature are updates that has been downloaded mainly by an Antivirus program. These Virus Signature are patterns and behaviors of a virus. If your Antivirus detected a file and it's pattern and behavior the same as the virus signature, it will automatically list it as virus.
The West Nile Virus was detected at the Bronx Zoo.
There are new viruses everyday, 10s of thousands of new viruses. Some virus will be detected and some will not, it is best to scan and clean your computer for viruses. I recommend doing this every week or so.
It is the place where the suspicious or virus programs detected after scan by AVG antivirus are being placed in order to provide secure use of the computer.
When creating a virus, you should think of the following: * What will it exploit? How will the virus enter a computer and not be detected? * How will the virus infect other programs? Is it a non-memory residential virus or a memory-residential virus? * How fast will it infect the host computer? In other words, will the virus spread extremely fast to destroy the computer as soon as possible or will it spread more slowly to make sure it is not detected by antiviruses? * How will the virus conceal itself? Will the virus infect antivirus programs to avoid detection, use polymorphism, or some other stealth function? Asking these questions allows you to have what virus in mind you want to make and lead the way to making the perfect specimen.
"The Creeper virus, it was first detected on ARPANET" - WikiPedia. The Creeper Virus displayed the message when connecting via dial-up: "I AM THE CREEPER: CATCH ME IF YOU CAN". It was discovered in 1789. This answer is Abhinav jain
If your antivirus software is unable to quarantine a detected virus, it is either because of A) An error was encountered while moving the virus to quarantine on the hard disk, or B) The virus is putting up a fight against your antivirus software. When this happens, delete the virus or send it to the developer of the antivirus software if possible for analysis.
Same thing happened to mine.I had to do a system restore and it went away.
If AVG detected a virus it will be storing it in the virus vault. Go into virus vault and opt to delete the virus. Virus vault can be accesed from the main menu.
