    The document discusses types of computer viruses and antivirus software. It describes several types of viruses like boot sector viruses, direct action viruses, resident viruses, multipartite viruses, overwrite viruses, polymorphic viruses, file infector viruses, spacefiller viruses, and macro viruses. It explains how each type infects and spreads. It also lists some commonly used antivirus software like Norton, F-Secure, Kaspersky, Avast, Comodo, and McAfee. The document appears to be from an experiment on creating code to prevent computer viruses.

    Engroll No. SS20CO011 Name :- Prem Bonde
    Aim:- To Create a small piece of code to prevent from any type
    of virus.
    Theory :-
    A computer virus is a program which can harm our device and
    files and infect Them for no further use. When a virus program is
    executed, it replicates itself By modifying other computer
    programs and instead enters its own coding. This Code infects a
    file or program and if it spreads massively, it may ultimately Result
    in crashing of the device. Across the world, Computer viruses are
    a great issue of concern as they can Cause billions of dollars’
    worth harm to the economy each year.

    Types of Computer Virus


    Discussed below are the different types of computer viruses:
    • Boot Sector Virus – It is a type of virus that infects the boot
    sector of floppy disks or the Master Boot Record (MBR) of hard
    disks. The Boot sector comprises all the files which Are required to
    start the Operating system of the computer. The virus either
    overwrites the Existing program or copies itself to another part of
    the disk.

    • Direct Action Virus – When a virus attaches itself directly to a


    .exe or .com file and Enters the device while its execution is
    called a Direct Action Virus. If it gets installed in The memory, it
    keeps itself hidden. It is also known as Non-Resident Virus.
    • Resident Virus – A virus which saves itself in the memory of the
    computer and then Infects other files and programs when its
    originating program is no longer working. This Virus can easily
    infect other files because it is hidden in the memory and is hard
    to be Removed from the system.

    • Multipartite Virus – A virus which can attack both, the boot


    sector and the executable Files of an already infected computer
    is called a multipartite virus. If a multipartite virus Attacks your
    system, you are at risk of cyber threat.

    • Overwrite Virus – One of the most harmful viruses, the overwrite


    virus can completely Remove the existing program and replace
    it with the malicious code by overwriting it. Gradually it can
    completely replace the host’s programming code with the
    harmful code.

    • Polymorphic Virus – Spread through spam and infected


    websites, the polymorphic virus Are file infectors which are
    complex and are tough to detect. They create a modified or
    Morphed version of the existing program and infect the system
    and retain the original code
    • File Infector Virus – As the name suggests, it first infects a single
    file and then later Spreads itself to other executable files and
    programs. The main source of this virus are Games and word
    processors.
    • Spacefiller Virus – It is a rare type of virus which fills in the empty
    spaces of a file with Viruses. It is known as cavity virus. It will
    neither affect the size of the file nor can be Detected easily.
    • Macro Virus – A virus written in the same macro language as
    used in the software Program and infects the computer if a word
    processor file is opened. Mainly the source of Such viruses is via
    emails. An anti-virus is a software which comprises programs or
    set of programs which can detect and Remove all the harmful
    and malicious software from your device. This anti-virus software
    is Designed in a manner that they can search through the files in
    a computer and determine the files Which are heavy or mildly
    infected by a virus.
    Given below is a list of few of the major antivirus software which
    is most commonly used:
    • Norton Antivirus
    • F-Secure Antivirus
    • Kaspersky Antivirus
    • AVAST Antivirus
    • Comodo Antivirus
    • McAfee Antivirus

    Output :-

    Conclusion :-
    Thus we have successfully demonstrated Intrusion Detection
    System.
