Computer Viruses and Malicious Code

These days with the proliferation of computers and computer technology it is inevitable that when things go wrong they do so on a larger scale. People can sit at home and write programs that insidiously invade computer systems both public and private. The consequences of these attacks can range from benign to extremely severe and the consequences can be extreme depending upon the system attacked

The computer simply executes instructions given to it. As such it is an extremely useful tool for the criminally inclined. When passwords and security mechanisms that are put in place to protect a system are breached, access is gained and a host system can be altered, its contents modified or infected with a latent virus or malicious code that will execute at a later date. This means that a system can be compromised, and although seeming to run smoothly will cause havoc when least suspected.

Computers started life as a huge room full of long vacuum tubes. The computer today has changed the way the world lives, earns, learns, communicates and processes information. Indeed the computer has become a personal device befitting the title the personal computer. With new technologies flowing into the market almost every eighteen months the prices of computer parts and peripherals never stay stagnant. Prices rocket downwards and crash land until the part is one day totally worthless and fit for only scrap. In this scenario there is no necessity that the consumer needs to buy only factory assembled computers. The consumer can buy parts off the shelf as per his requirements and budget and assemble them at home. The simplicity in design and construction of computer components stands in favor of assembly at home. A certain basic knowledge of parts like the motherboard, processor and RAM is sufficient for anyone to assemble a personal computer.

It’s a potential nightmare scenario:

You need to open a PDF document so you double click on it to open it as usual. But instead of opening the document, a little screen comes up asking you to enter the password for the file.

Panic sets in - you were maybe given the password in an email but you can’t remember what the access code.

Of course, this never happens when you’ve got time on your hands or with unimportant files. It waits until your boss wants the information. Now! This minute! It’s doubly embarrassing if it’s your own password that’s been forgotten.

Someone who like to upload files into the free file hosting may face a problem with the file size limitation. How can we solve this problem ? I recommend dividing a file into a number of fragments as you want and upload them. Fortunately we have a software called The File Splitter that help you split a file to many file pieces. Certainly each file piece is a file that has smaller size than the original file. Therefore you can upload the files to various hosting. Others who download your files can assemble them to be an original file itself though they are scattering in many file hosts. While you are splitting a file, The File Splitter creates an appended file in dot exe format used for assembling all your split files, just double click on it. Let try it now.
