4 WAYS TO GET A VIRUS

Having your computer infected with malicious code is a difficult experience.
Stop viruses and malware in the first place by using CipherBox MDR. The person
whose device gets infected is not wholly innocent however. Unless the virus is
on a device beforehand, there are typically four types of actions that can
result in malware getting on a computer. Understand what they are and avoid
them.


1. TORRENTS



Downloading torrents is a quick way to get a virus. Downloading a torrent file
also exposes your IP address to the public if you are not using a VPN or other
method. That sharing, which makes the torrent process possible, is the same
thing that makes your system vulnerable.

Illegally-activated programs can be downloaded on such sites. The people who
cracked the program are the same people who can install malware onto the file.
An estimate from several years back estimated that 1/3 of user visiting
torrent-related sites get infected. Techniques exist that make downloading
torrents safer. But when it comes to cybersecurity, stay away.


2. ADULT WEBSITES

Visiting adult websites can lead to having your computer compromised. Much like
Torrent sites, websites with adult material can serve malware-infecting content.
The content can be in the form of material downloaded or served up by just
visiting in the form of “malvertising”. Malvertising infects users computers by
showing in the browser. Organization policies likely forbid visiting adult
websites on company computers. This method of acquiring a virus makes the user
especially guilty.


3. THUMBDRIVES



Picking up a thumbdrive laying around can be a convenient solution to
transferring a file. But that convenience comes at the cost of risking malware
from coming to the computer it’s plugged into. The virus can spread from
computer-to-computer any time a USB is plugged in. There are ways to make USBs
more secure with passwords and encryption, but transferring files in a secure
digital-only format is more secure.


4. PHISHING

Getting a virus from a phishing attack is another possibility. Phishing attacks
can succeed on even a sophisticated user. The emails are disguised to fool the
user into taking an action like clicking a link that installs malware. The email
might imitate a person in your company or look like it’s coming from an
organization that someone is familiar with. There are methods to detect phishing
like paying close attention to the email address it is coming from and the link
URL. For a complete list of tips to avoid phishing, download this guide to
preventing phishing.
