Dealing With Malware In Everyday Life.

Malware is a basically a software that is designed to malice your computer, in way that it steals information from your computer, downloads unwanted software, changes your computer settings and in worst case scenario encrypts you computer information.

Malware have been around for so long as the programming begun, with the most prominent malware being Zeus, though other malware do exist, they are not as resilient as the Zeus malware and the fact that the Zeus is not owed by a specific individual means you will most likely have a different version of Zeus attacking your company and that means you are most like going to find fewer solutions to the attack.

What’s more interesting however is the method of attack that malware vendors and developers use, in the beginning the developers used IRC (Internet Relay Chat) which basically meant that an infected device always connect to a specific IRC   for further  instructions, currently the malware developers use twitter and Facebook hash tags and posts which are encrypted from the public. Meaning that the hash tags are always posted and deleted as and when need arises.

As more and more devices get  infected the developers need a way to control the infected devices that have formed a bot net that is entirely autonomous and harder to take down, with that in mind malware developers add distress codes, which makes it easier to disconnect and reconnect the infected devices without losing any resources currently available.

Despite the ever evolving malware landscape computer security companies have not yet given up with Kaspersky leading the development of new software to combat new variants of known and unknown malware. As a matter of fact every malware that has infected a computer anyways can be detected easily by Kaspersky than any other software.

 However it’s worthy noting that these malware can be detected by other variety of software like:

1.       Zemana antimalware

2.       Kaspersky TDSSkiller

3.       Malwarebytes anti malware

4.       Iexplorer

5.       Hitman pro

6.       Rkiller

With these software you can easily fix any malware infect on your devices. Though care must be exercised to avoid data and information loss, for example doing daily data backups, scanning files before opening them, avoid opening any URLs and visiting random websites.

Malware attacks and infection rates are declining as more complex methods of data theft and computer control are being implemented. As such you stand as the last line of defense in ensuring that you don’t get infected with malware way and in case of infection how you recover from this the infection with all your information and data intact.
