CA ISS Plus 2011 "My Computer"
Q: What is a virus? A: A computer virus is a form of malicious software - also refered to as "malware" (delivered from the combination of the words malicious and software). The forms of malware that anti-virus products commonly protect against include: Viruses - Small programs that attach themselves to other programs of documents, and replicate with the potential to cause damage. Worms - Programs specifically engineered to make extensive use of email to spread themselves rapidly. Trojans - Programs that pretend to be something harmless but have a damaging or otherwise malicious intent. Zombies - Programs that install themselves on PCs and remain dormant until an external event triggers them to act. Zombies can damage your PC, steal your personal information and send it to an unauthorised email account, or even open remote control access to your PC. All of these forms of malware are commonly referred to simply as “viruses”. Q: How do anti-virus products work? A:Anti-virus products provide protection by detecting viruses and then disabling or removing them from your PC. Viruses are detected by the anti-virus “engine”, which scans your PC, looking for the tell-tale signatures of these malicious programs. Once detected, the software takes the appropriate action and cleans, deletes, or quarantines the file. Q: How do viruses spread? A:Viruses today are typically spread by email, but can also be spread by sharing disks, network drives, or Internet downloads. Viruses cannot spread on their own and must be run (or executed) by someone to cause damage. Boot sector viruses spread when a user inadvertently boots their PC from an infected disk. Macro viruses can spread simply by opening an infected document. Q: What damage can viruses cause? A: The type of damage viruses can do varies dramatically. Some can do a great deal of damage to files or even destroy the contents of a hard drive, while others install programs that are intended to corrupt or steal information from your PC. Q: What makes CA Anti-Virus technology different from the rest? A: CA serves major corporations, government entities, and educational institutions worldwide. CA Anti-Virus gives home users the powerful technology used by these organisations, in a format that’s both easy to use and affordable. The CA Security Advisor Team, a global network of threat research labs focused on PC protection, detect and design protection against virus threats 24/7. Q: Why does anti-virus software need continually updated signature files? A:Since new viruses are released on a daily basis, it is critical that the anti-virus software you use is updated with new virus signatures to provide protection against the most current threats. CA provides daily, fully automatic updates to help defend against the latest threats. Q: How can CA Anti-Virus technology protect me from tomorrow’s viruses today? A:Heuristic scanning engines enable CA Anti-Virus to detect even unknown viruses by analysing file characteristics to prevent potential infection. When a specific virus is detected and analysed, CA Anti- Virus can also detect other iterations or variations of that virus so, when a new virus is created using a similar “fingerprint” as an older virus, CA Anti-Virus can automatically detect the new virus. Q: Who tests and certifies anti-virus software? A:There are several independent organisations that test and certify anti-virus software. CA Anti-Virus technology is tested and certified effective by ICSA Labs, Virus Bulletin, and West Coast Labs. Q: What is spyware? A:Spyware is the common term for a wide variety of non-viral programs that are typically installed onto a PC without the user’s knowledge. Spyware can steal your personal information, switch your home page, redirect your web searches, display annoying ads, slow your PC to a crawl, or even control it remotely. Spyware comes in many shapes and sizes; some are simply an annoyance, while others threaten security and privacy. Common types of spyware include: Spyware - Tracks information about you, your computer, and your surfing habits Adware - Displays unwanted advertising that can slow your computer to a crawl Keyloggers - Can record every keystroke you make, to steal your passwords and other personal data Browser Hijackers - Can change your browser home page and search results Remote Access Trojans (RATS) - Allows attackers to remotely control your computer Q: How do I become infected with spyware? A:Spyware can enter your PC through everyday web browsing, unauthorised software down loads, peer-to-peer file swapping, email attachments, instant messaging and chat sessions, bundles with legitimate software, hacker website downloads, and “drive-by” installs from websites. Q: Why do I need anti-spyware software? A:Spyware can lead to anything from PC crashes to increased spam to identity theft. These threats are rapidly proliferating and represent a major security and privacy risk. Anti-spyware software is designed to detect and remove these threats. CA ISS Plus 2010 "My Internet" Q: What is phishing? A:Phishing generally refers to email messages that appear to come from trusted companies, but that direct you to a fake website where you are asked to provide sensitive personal information (passwords, account numbers, credit card numbers, etc.). This information can then be used by the creators of the website to commit identity fraud. Phishing emails are designed to appear legitimate, and the websites often look identical to legitimate company websites. Phishing attacks are not limited to email, however; they can also occur through instant messaging, in web pop-ups, or through spyware programs that may have been secretly installed on your PC. Q: What is the risk in doing business on the Internet? A: The Internet has become a popular medium for e-commerce and online banking. As the business grows, scammers find ways to fool unwary users into submitting personal and confidential details to fraudulent sites, so they can misuse that information. Other sites conceal their identity and tempt users to pay for goods and services they will never receive. Q: What are the most common methods of Internet fraud? A:The main Internet fraud methods are: Pharming - A set of technical tricks that actually changes the destination of the URL that you see in your browser, and directs you to an “undercover” site. In other words, if you enter www.mybank.com, you may think you are accessing your bank, but you are actually directed to a scam site. Sites - without identity” or with hidden identity - Sites that deliberately hide their ownership, making it harder to find the owner after a fraud has been committed on the site. Sites that collect personal or confidential information and do not keep the details secure – Sites that share your private information and email address with other sites for a profit. Spyware, Trojans & Keyloggers – Sites that secretly install malicious software on your PC, to track your computer use and send the information to those who intend to misuse it. Q: What is spam? A:Spam is the common term for electronic ‘junk mail’ or unwanted messages sent to an email account. Q: Why is spam a problem? Can’t I just delete spam from my Inbox by hitting Delete? A:Today, a large percentage of all email is unsolicited, unwanted spam. The billions of spam messages circulating across the Internet can disrupt email delivery, degrade system performance, and reduce overall productivity. Deleting spam emails seems like a simple solution, but if you add up the time spent deleting every spam email you receive, you lose a significant amount of productivity. Q: What kinds of threats does an anti-spam product protect against? A:Spam messages can contain offensive material, can be used in fraudulent phishing attacks designed to steal your personal information, or can even be used to spread viruses. Spammers can also take control of your computer in order to send spam to others from your PC. These compromised home computers - collectively referred to as ‘botnets’ – can be used to send bulk emails by the millions. Therefore, spam is not only a nuisance that affects your productivity - it can also be a serious threat to your security, privacy, and the health of your PC. Q: How do I get spam? A:Spammers often use bulk email programs to send out their unsolicited messages to lists of email addresses that have often been collected without the recipient’s knowledge. There are several ways spammers obtain these email addresses: Harvesting from Websites - Most companies list email addresses and contact information on their websites. Spammers use web-crawlers to search for and collect these email addresses. Mailing lists - Many people sign up for mailing lists for newsletters, news alerts, coupons, special offers, and other interests. Spammers can often purchase or even steal these mailing lists. Usenet Posting - Spammers can also use bots to cruise newsgroups on Usenet in order to collect email addresses. Coincidental - Your email address may be unique to your Internet Service Provider (ISP), but it may also be used by several other people using different ISPs. Spammers use the first part of email addresses and change the ISP name to create a list of several email addresses that might be valid. Dictionary Attacks - Spammers make educated guesses on email addresses by stringing together common names and words. Q: Can’t I get rid of spam emails by unsubscribing? A:Not always. Any response to spam emails confirms the accuracy of your email address, and may result in even more spam messages. Q: What is DKIM and SPF with Email Inspector? A:Many government entities, large corporations and educational institutions register their domain with the DKIM and SPF organisation to protect cybercriminals from using their domain for malicious means. Email Inspector works with industry-standard protocols to scan email, and thwart phishing attempts. Q: What is a firewall? A:A firewall is an important first line of defence for computer security. A firewall is software or hardware that acts as a barrier between your PC and the Internet. It prevents unauthorised programs or users from accessing your PC, and hides your Internet-connected PC from view. All information leaving and entering your PC must pass through the firewall. It ultimately helps keep hackers away from your personal and confidential data. Q: Why do I need a firewall? A:In today’s world of computing, several layers of protection are needed to defend your confidential data from hackers. Every PC connected to the Internet is a potential target. Computers are under constant attack from cyber vandals. Whether your connection is dial-up, DSL, or always-on, a firewall is necessary to stop intruders from getting into your PC. Firewalls protect you from things that antivirus software and anti-spyware software are not designed to find. Q: Do I need a firewall to protect my system? A: Yes. A firewall is able to stop malicious programs from executing and can block the Internet ports that intruders use to remotely access your system. A firewall works in concert with anti-spam and anti-phishing protection to effectively prevent those threats from compromising your system. Q: What kinds of threats do firewalls protect against? A: Firewalls help protect against hackers and online intruders who steal personal and confidential data that could lead to identity theft. Firewalls inspect each “packet” of data as it arrives on either side of the firewall – inbound from the Internet, or outbound from your computer - and determines whether it should be allowed to pass, or if it should be blocked. CA ISS Plus 2010 "My Kids" Q: Why do I need parental controls? A:Despite its benefits, the Internet has also become a medium that communicates material that many households would consider dangerous, offensive, sexist, racist, or otherwise inappropriate for their family. Parental controls software is one way for parents to take the initiative to create an Internet environment that they consider safe. Q: What are the most common risks to children on the Internet? A:Studies have shown that children can be inadvertently exposed to pornography or other inappropriate content, or can intentionally view it; can be solicited for sex while online; or can simply use the Internet in ways that a parent would consider inappropriate or excessive. Q: How do parental controls products work? A:Parental controls software allows a parent to control and monitor the online activities of their child or children. Parental controls products allow parents to block offensive websites, set time limits on Internet usage, and review the online activities of their child. Q: What online activities are threats to my children? A:Children can encounter online threats in many ways, such as web browsing, instant messaging and peer-to-peer file sharing services. Effective parental controls can block web pages, IM services, and peer-to-peer applications, helping to further protect your children. CA ISS Plus 2010 "My Files" Q: What is backing up? A:To back up is to selectively to save important data files, photographs, music files and other information to a safe and secure location, such as a remote storage device, network share or removable hard drive. If disaster strikes, such as a hard drive failure or accidental erasure, your “backed up files” can be quickly restored to your system or to another system. Q: What is migration? A:Migration enables you to select data files and important program settings and move that information to a new computer. With just a few clicks, you can preserve user settings, address books, data files, favourites, printer settings, and numerous other unique settings and preferences that you don’t want to lose when moving to a new system. Q: What types of information does backup and migration work with? A:Each person modifies their PC to fit their needs, jobs, and preferences, making each PC unique. Your changes and modifications impact almost everything on your PC and those changes need to be protected, preserved and made available for restoration to your existing or new PC. INCLUDING:
Q: Why should I back up? A:In the event of an unforeseen incident – for example, a virus or system crash – it is important to have made a “copy” of all of your critical information to be able to restore your PC to its original state before the incident occurred. Failure to back up could result in the loss of important files that may be irreplaceable, such as digital photos and documents. |
