This article is to share with you what kinds of computer viruses there are. The editor thinks it is very practical, so share it with you as a reference and follow the editor to have a look.

According to the type of media attached, computer viruses can be divided into three categories: network viruses, file viruses and guided viruses; according to computer specific algorithms, computer viruses can be divided into three categories: attached viruses, worms and variable viruses.

Classification of computer viruses:

Classification according to the type of media attached

(1) Network virus: a computer virus that infects executable files through a computer network.

(2) File virus: a virus that mainly attacks files in a computer.

(3) Bootstrap virus: a virus that mainly infects the drive sector and the boot sector of the hard disk system.

Second, classify according to computer specific algorithms

(1) attached virus: usually attached to an EXE file, its name is the same as the EXE file name, but the extension is different, generally will not destroy the change file itself, but in the DOS read when the first activation is this kind of virus.

(2) Worm: it does not damage computer files and data, and its destructiveness mainly depends on the deployment of the computer network. You can use a computer network to switch from one computer storage to another to calculate the network address to infect the virus.

(3) variable virus: you can apply complex algorithms on your own, which is difficult to find because the content and length are different in another place.

Thank you for reading! This is the end of this article on "what are the types of computer viruses?". I hope the above content can be of some help to you, so that you can learn more knowledge. If you think the article is good, you can share it for more people to see!
