Question

You realize your computer has been infected with malware. It seems as if someone is controlling your computer from a remote location. What type of malware might you have?

Answer 1

Answer:

Worm malware

Explanation:

The worm operates destructively as it replicates itself and keeps spreading within a computer or network. It takes advantage of software and security vulnerabilities.

Once a computer or network is infected, worms replicate themselves, therefore using up the computer and network resources. Among others, one of the major missions of worms is to create a backdoor into a network, to be able to enable the attacker to carry out a more devastating attack.

Since worms take advantage of weak security in the Operating system, it is very important to constantly update the security features of the Operating system. Users must be careful of the emails they open and attachments they download.
