What are computer intruders?

A computer Intruder is something that invades your computer without permission. Sometimes

you don’t even know it has arrived. In other cases, you may think you ar e giving permission for one

thing such as accepting a game download, but you are actually opening your computer t o attack.

Then malicious software is used t o control your computer’s operation. Here are the most common

intruders:



Adware – advertising- supported software that is loaded autom atically when a web page is

viewed. These are often pop-up windows or bars on the computer screen. Some adware is

also spyware that collects personal information.



Hijacking – refers to when spyware or a virus is hidden in a soft ware program that normally

does

something else. When the program opens, it performs an operation such as collecting

personal information.



Spam – unsolicited, unwanted e-mail messages that are mailed out to many people at once.



Spyware - software that automatically collects personal informat ion from you without

permission. Sometimes this information is sold to advertisers, used for identity theft, or other

types of commercial gain. Frequently spyware is associated with download software such as

music or games because it can be hidden in the download. It differs from viruses and worms

because the software does not self-replicate.



Phishing - refers to when people try to find out personal information about you such as

passwords or account information. This is used by people for identity theft.



may corrupt data, slow down functions, or cause other problems. They attack software, but will

not physically harm your computer components such as monitor or keyboard.



Worm - like a virus, it is designed to interfere with com puter operation. In addition, it takes

control of features of your computer and does things like send email to all t he people in your e-

mail address book. This can clog networks and slow down the Internet.
