Editor to share with you about the harm of malware in the computer network. I hope you will gain something after reading this article. Let's discuss it together.

The harm of malicious software: 1, collect user information in the background for profit, endanger user privacy, infringe upon user information and property security; 2, pop up advertisements frequently, consume system resources, make it run slower; 3, use "trial trap" to force users to register, otherwise they may lose personal data and other data; 4, join with computer viruses to invade users' computers, and so on.

Malware can also be called adware (adware), spyware (spyware), malicious shareware (malicious shareware). It refers to the software that is installed and run on the user's computer or other terminals without explicitly prompting the user or without the user's permission, thus infringing upon the legitimate rights and interests of the user. Unlike viruses or worms, many of these software are not secretly written and distributed by small groups or individuals, but many well-known enterprises and groups are suspected of such software. Sometimes called rogue software.

"rogue software" is a software between virus and regular software. If there is rogue software in the computer, the following situations may occur: when users use the computer to surf the Internet, windows will continue to pop out; computer browsers have been inexplicably modified to add a lot of work bars; when users open the web page, the web page will become irrelevant strange pictures, or even pornographic ads.

Some rogue software is just for a certain purpose, such as advertising. Although these rogue software will not affect the normal use of the user's computer, but when the user launches the browser, it will pop up an extra web page to achieve the purpose of publicity.

The harm of malware

1. Forced installation and can not be uninstalled; collect user information in the background for profit, endangering user privacy

2. Pop-up advertisements frequently, consume system resources and slow down its operation.

3. Users' privacy data and important information will be captured by "backdoor programs" and sent to hackers, commercial companies, and so on. These "backdoor programs" can even enable users' computers to be remotely manipulated to form a huge "botnet", which is one of the important hidden dangers of network security.

4. Users will be forcibly installed this kind of plug-in when browsing the website, and ordinary users can not uninstall it at all. After being hijacked, users will be forcibly guided to their designated website as long as they surf the Internet, seriously affecting the normal Internet browsing.

5. Endanger the privacy of users and may be used by hackers to carry out network fraud.

6. Use the "trial trap" to force users to register, otherwise data such as personal data may be lost. Software integrated plug-ins may cause users' browsers to be hijacked, privacy stolen, and so on.

7. Join forces with computer viruses to invade users' computers.
