WHAT IS COMPUTER VIRUS?

A computer virus is a computer program that can copy itself and infect a computer without permission or knowledge of the user. However, the term "virus" is commonly used, albeit erroneously, to refer to many different types of malware programs. The original virus may modify the copies, or the copies may modify themselves, as occurs in a metamorphic virus. A virus can only spread from one computer to another when its host is taken to the uninfected computer, for instance by a user sending it over a network or the Internet, or by carrying it on a removable medium such as a floppy disk, CD, or USB drive.

TROJAN HORSE

Trojan horse program is a malicious program that pretends to be a begin application. Trojan horse program purposefully does something the user does not expect. Trojan horse are not viruses since they do not replicate, but Trojan horse programs can be just as destructive. Many people use the term to refer only to non-replicating malicious programs, thus making a distinction between (Trojans and viruses).

SALAMI ATTACK
Salami attack is a series of minor data-security attacks that together results in a larger attack. -For example, a fraud activity in a bank where an employed steals a small amount of funds from several accounts, can be considered a salami attack. Crimes involving salami attacks typically are difficult to detect and trace.

EFFECT OF VIRUS (TROJAN HORSE)

Otherwise, crimes involving salami attacks typically are difficult to (detect and trace).

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN VIRUS(TROJAN HORSE) AND SALAMI ATTACK

VIRUS (Trojan Horse)
-Computer

Salami Attack
-A salami attack is a programmed attack which is

viruses are executable programs capable of self replicating and self modifying in the system with the motive of disrupting its operation.

implemented in small (meant to be unnoticeable) increments. Because it is occurring in small increments it is easily concealed.

Example when it occur; - Viruses that may modify, corrupt or

delete files in your machine owing to which you may not be able to access them. (and may lead to system crash)[Blue Screen]

Example when is occur;

- Rounding down interest calculations and placing the difference in your account.

CONCLUSION
The

computer virus is very dangerous when it going to critical. So, we must take care our computer from the virus. Therefore, we also must use anti-virus in order to keep our computer safe and clean from viruses.
