[Audio] COMPUTER SYSTEM SECURITY ===========Short Questions and Answers========= Q1. Define computer virus? How many types of computer viruses are there? Computer Virus A computer virus is a program designed to disturb, alter or destroy data stored on computer system. Explanation A computer virus is designed for the destruction of data in the computer system by business competitors, hackers and destructive mind persons. A computer virus can be passed from one computer to another floppy disk, over the local area network, over remote modem connection and over the internet connection. Major Types of Viruses The following are the major types of viruses. Worm Trojan Horse Time Bombs File Infectors Macro Viruses Boot Sector Virus Q2. How a computer system can be prevented from a virus infection? A virus can cause a serious problem for computer system. Different viruses produce different type of threats for computer system. Thousands of viruses are in existence, and more are being written each day. For a computer user there must be some strategy to prevent computer system from virus infection.

Famous anti viruses: Some popular antivirus programs include the following: McAfee virus scan IBM antivirus Doctor Solomon's Norton Antivirus Symantec antivirus for the Macintosh Q3. Define software piracy. Software Piracy Software piracy is a computer related crime which is an illegal duplication of copy righted software. Explanation Page 98 of 157 VER: 04.
[Audio] Software piracy is a biggest issue affecting the computer industry. Millions of computers have made copies of program which they do not legally own. In most cases copying software is as easy as duplicating a cassette or photocopying a book. Using software piracy a user can gain the use of the program without paying for it to the vendor. People are not aware that software piracy is a serious crime in Pakistan's criminal law. ===========Long Questions and Answers========= Q1. Define computer virus? How many types of computer viruses are there? Describe how a virus can affect a computer system. Computer Virus A computer virus is a program designed to disturb, alter or destroy data stored on computer system. Explanation A computer virus is designed for the destruction of data in the computer system by business competitors, hackers and destructive mind persons. A computer virus can be passed from one computer to another a floppy disk, over the local area network, over remote modem connection and over the internet connection. What A Virus Can Do A virus can destroy the data on computer system. A virus can destroy the software installed on computer system. A virus can produce problems like device locking, storage media lacking, and problem in system's speed. A virus can provide problems like continuous restart, drive formatting and hanging. Sometimes a virus can destroy even the hardware like storage media. Major Types of Viruses Viruses can be divided into several categories. These include worms Trojan horses, time bombs, file infectors, macro viruses, and boot sector viruses. Worm A worm is a program whose purpose is to duplicate itself. An effective worm will fill entire disks copies of itself and it can spread to multiple computers on a network, essentially clogging the entire system with copies. Worms can commonly spread over the internet via-email message attachments and internet relay chat (IRC). Trojan horse A Trojan horse refers to illegal instructions placed in the middle of a useful program. The program does something useful but also, via the Trojan horse instructions, does something destructive in the background. Sometimes a Trojan horse is disguised as a game or a utility program that users will find appealing; then, when the users begin running the "game", they discover that they have loaded another animal entirely. A Trojan horse may erase the data on the hard disk or cause other damages. Time bombs Page 99 of 157 VER: 04.
[Audio] Time bombs and logic bombs are designed to sit harmlessly on a system until a certain event or date causes the program to become active some bomb are activated by a date, a change to a file, or a particular action taken by a user or a program. The most famous time bomb is the Michelangelo virus, named after the great artist. On the artist's birthday (March 6) each year, the virus designed to destroy the contents. File infectors Most viruses are file infectors that spread from program to program and do damage to files (such as exe or com files), data and directories. A file infector virus hidden on a floppy disk will transfer itself to any hard disk that the floppy comes into contact with. When another floppy disk is inserted into the computer containing that hard disk, the virus will copy itself onto that floppy disk. It is clear that viruses can spread rapidly through an organization. Macro Viruses A macro virus is designed to infect a specific type of document file, such as Microsoft word or Excel files. These types of documents can include macros, which are small programs that execute commands. Boot sector virus Regarded as one of the most hostile types of virus, a boot sector virus infects the boot record of a hard or floppy disk (a boot sector is a special area of a disk that stores essential files, the computer accesses during startup). The virus moves the boot sector's data to a different part of the disk or can make the data stored on the disk in accessible. When the computer is started, the virus copies itself into memory where it can hide and infect other disks. Q2. How a computer system can be prevented from a virus infection? A virus can cause a serious problem for computer system. Different viruses produce different type of threats for computer system. Thousands of viruses are in existence, and more are being written each day. For a computer user there must be some strategy to prevent computer system from virus infection. Antivirus An antivirus is software which works to prevent the computer system from virus infection. Function Of The Antivirus 1. An antivirus searches for the virus in the storage media which exists in the form of file, this process is called virus scanning. 2. The antivirus deletes or destroys the virus files from the computer system. 3. The antivirus repairs and manages the infected data files of the user in the storage media. 4. An antivirus is an automatic program which keeps an eye over every start up, on device attachment (like USB, Floppy, and File etc) and while network connection. 5. An antivirus prevents the computer system from virus destruction. Famous Anti Viruses Page 100 of 157 VER: 04.
[Audio] Some popular antivirus programs include the following: McAfee virus scan IBM antivirus Doctor Solomon's Norton Antivirus Virex Symantec antivirus for the Macintosh Q3. Define software piracy. What is the role of the copy right law to overcome software piracy? Software Piracy Software piracy is a computer related crime which is an illegal duplication of copy righted software. Explanation Software piracy is a biggest issue affecting the computer industry. Millions of computers have made copies of program which they do not legally own. In most cases copying software is as easy as duplicating a cassette or photocopying a book. Using software piracy a user can gain the use of the program without paying for it to the vendor. People are not aware that software piracy is a serious crime in Pakistan's criminal law. Copyright Criminal Law The copyright act 1992 of Pakistan is an amendment in the constitution which demonstrates it as a crime. Explanation According to this copyright act it is illegal to make or distribute copies of computer programs without authorization. No other copy can be made without specific authorization from the copyright owner. Penalties for software piracy: If the company programs have been pirated by someone, the company can take the following measures: 1. The company may prosecute under the provision of the copyright law. 2. The penalties and fines can be imposed by judicial inquiry. 3. The criminal can be imprisoned up to 3 years.
