As the Spring Festival approaches, computer viruses begin to get ready during holidays. Recently, anti-virus experts reminded computer users that two types of viruses need to be prevented during the Spring Festival to ensure the safety of computer use.
According to anti-virus expert Yan Shaowen, there are two types of viruses that may occur during the holidays.
A type of virus is traditional viruses, such as worms, *s, etc., which are spread through network sharing, email, system vulnerabilities, web pages, etc.;
The second is to use the name of congratulations on the Spring Festival to spread viruses. Such viruses usually send a connection containing a virus through email, and users will be poisoned if they click on the connection; most of these viruses use vulnerabilities in the operating system to cooperate in spreading;
Most of the above viruses also have the characteristics of deleting security software, and will be spread through some common ways such as QQ, MSN, etc. Users who use QQ and MSN live chat tools should pay special attention to prevention.
In addition, netizens also need to be wary of a type of malicious spam that is not a virus: for example, it will hypothesize in the letter that a normal system file in Windows is a virus file, which prompts it to be a dangerous virus and let you delete it immediately. At the same time, it is also recommended that you send it to all your familiar people to increase a large amount of unnecessary network traffic. Users who need to conduct online transactions should pay special attention. When trading online, you must pay attention to protecting your account and password. You especially need to use antivirus software with password protection to ensure the security of your online transaction password.
How to ensure the safety of computer use during the Spring Festival? Jiangmin anti-virus experts have proposed eight precautions.
1. When installing the system, the operating system patch must be upgraded in a timely manner. Although this patch may cause new vulnerabilities, security is only relative, and a system that can prevent virus invasion is enough;
2. Turn on the built-in firewall function of Windows, or install an external firewall to prevent online attacks by some hackers;
3. Install the latest anti-virus software, upgrade the virus database in time, and enable real-time monitoring.
4. You need to pay attention to the security of your private data, such as bank account passwords, mailbox passwords, etc. It is best to set up more complicated passwords.
5. It is recommended not to install multiple anti-virus software at the same time.
6. It is best for users to use mobile hard disks, USB disks and other media to prevent viruses first.
7. Develop good computer usage habits, optimize and organize disks regularly. When the machine traffic is abnormal when surfing the Internet, the host is inexplicably slowed down; there are unknown processes in the host task list; when some tools see obvious abnormalities during surfing the Internet, a large number of external connections are likely to be hacked, and full disks should be wiped out in a timely manner.
8. Get to know the latest virus information and often browse the virus reports from the National Computer Virus Emergency Center and authoritative anti-virus companies.
