Question

Difference

between spam and virus

Answer 1

GOOD

Explanation:

A virus is a malicious piece of code that is designed to infiltrate your computer via an infected email attachment or by getting you to run a program you downloaded from the web.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Spam:

• Spam is simply unsolicited email.
• It might genuinely be trying to sell you something, but more than likely, it's trying to con you out of money in some way.

Virus:

• When you launch a programme you downloaded from the internet or open an email attachment that contains malicious code, your computer will get infected.
• A traditional virus would often spread to other programmes you possess, however due to current code integrity signing standards, this is somewhat less common now.
• The more typical "malware" simply instals itself as a separate programme hidden among the thousands that are already on your computer.
• They then does something undesirable like using your computer as a zombie to launch attacks against websites, mine bitcoins, log your keystrokes for passwords or bank information, or other nasty things.
