What to Focus On

  • Security means protection from unauthorised access and misuse.
  • Threats arise when a weakness is exploited.
  • Disconnected systems face fewer network threats.

  • Malware means malicious software.
  • Main types include virus, worm, ransomware, Trojan, spyware, adware, and keylogger.
  • Common entry routes are downloads, spam, removable devices, and networks.

  • A virus needs a host program.
  • Human triggering is needed for activation and replication.
  • A virus remains dormant until the infected file is opened.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A virus and a worm are the same thing because both spread from one computer to another.

A Trojan self-replicates like a virus once it enters the system.

Ransomware only blocks a computer screen, so encryption is not part of ransomware.
