Chapter 81: Computer Viruses

There are many different types of viruses. Some need a host programm to work properly (this can be any type of programm). Some are known as worms and can run as is and spread itself further through your network. And then there are the trojan horses. The trojan horse is a story of how the Greeks created a wooden horse to win the trojan war. They hid soldiers inside the horse and then "ran" away leaving the horse and Sinon who persuaded the Trojans into believing that it was an offering for a god. Although the horse seemed suspicious, it was brought into the base. At night the Greeks emerged and opened the gates for the returning Greeks. These kinds of viruses claim to do one thing whilst doing another. The worst kind are the fake anitmalware viruses that trick innocent, unknowing people.
