The Impact of Computer Virus Attacks and its Detection and Preventive Mechanism among Personal Computer PC Users

This document provides overview of the computer virus detection and protection. Computer viruses are most critical area in computer. Most of the computer users in the world are suffering from this threat and it is very difficult to prevent every computer from being compromised by virus. Viruses reproduce themselves and spread through computer to computer and network to network. Most of the engineers develop some antivirus software and some best practices to prevent virus from attacking your computer system and how to block viruses in machine. This research paper describes the prevention of computer viruses, and surveys several related research works in this field. Furthermore, we describe the some significance of applying algorithm in computer virus protection and prevention, and discuss their implication in designing and developing anti-virus technologies and policies. We conclude that, despite its limitations, the some models bring new hope for solving the computer virus problems
