I talking to you? I want to talk to someone other than those computer data files on the network. They are really boring, though some of those files have great stories. Let me tell you a little about myself. You know when your computer freezes or a virus gets onto your desktop and deletes all your stuff? That’s me! It’s my…

rise to a virus with such a horrifying connotation? The recent Ebola outbreak occurring in West Africa is on high alert across the world. The Ebola virus is lives in animals such as the fruit bat, but has the tendency to make the jump to humans. When this jump does occur, the virus is deadly and kills the majority of those infected. Because the virus is only transmitted through bodily fluids most of the world does not need to fear coming in contact with this killer pathogen. The Ebola virus…

The Herpes Simplex Virus, more well known as herpes, is a viral disease that causes sores and blisters. It can be spread by the direct contact of an infected area to a non infected area or by the infected area touching an object and an unaffected area also touching that object (such as towels, fingers, ect). There are two types of the Herpes Simplex Virus; herpes type 1 (HSV­1) and herpes type 2 (HSV­2). Herpes type 1, or oral herpes, usually consists of blisters or sores around the mouth area.…

Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) was first reported over 2,000 years ago by the Greeks who used the term herpes, meaning creepy or crawling (Drugge & Jackson Allen, 2008, p. 455). It is known today as an infectious organism that affects populations equally worldwide (Drugge & Jackson Allen, 2008). In 2004, reports showed that 60% to 95% of the older adult population suffered from HSV-1 and at least 40% of them had been infected since age fifteen (Drugge & Jackson Allen, 2008). ). It is one of the most…

illnesses, or viruses being spread around today with many different forms. One such virus has been spreading like wildfire and that virus is known as Zika. This is another virus spread by mosquitos, just like dengue fever. Mosquitos usually breed near warmer climate areas, more clustered in the south or in the Caribbean. Unfortunately, the Zika virus seems to be spreading more than just in those areas. The virus might also be spreading towards the United States. Zika seems to be going on an…

The Virus Change Are we to blame for the world of the unseen changing at an alarming rate? Throughout the last few decades, the world of viruses have changed. Some harmful viruses are spreading more faster and easier than they ever had before, and there have been some resurrections of some old viruses. The recent changes in the world of viruses are not a natural occurrence but brought on by humanity. One of the main reason for the changes in the virus worlds as we know it is the latest changes…

Sircam and AIDS Virus Love is like a virus. It can happen to anybody at any time. Unfortunately, I am not talking about this type of virus. I am talking about a computer virus, which is designed to spread from host to host and has the ability to replicate itself through a file or document on a computer. I chose to talk to about two viruses: Sircam and AIDS. The Sircam Virus is a computer worm that propagates by e-mail from Microsoft Windows systems. In July of 2001, the Virus was sent…

the time to read my proposal to address the pressing issue of the ever spreading Zika Virus. The recent American outbreak of the widespread Zika epidemic has called for cautious measures to be taken in areas of high mosquito population. There have been several moments in the past few months where I would find myself swatting mosquitos, only to have those around me continuously warn me about Zika. The impact the virus has had on the general public has caused mild levels of hysteria across…

Please research one virus and one worm, and write a maximum 2-page single-spaced paper explaining what each of them is, what they do, what their impact was, what the mechanics of how they work are (the technical aspect), and how were they stopped. Computer virus: It is a piece of code which is loaded onto the computer without the user knowledge and runs itself. When this code is executed, it makes a copy of itself and inserts this copy into another computer programs, data files of the hard…

difference between a virus and other types of malicious code? A virus is a particular type of malicious program designed to duplicate itself and spread from system to system. Normally, viruses attach themselves to files that can be shared enabling the malicious code to access to new computers. Viruses that are more complex may take over your email client, mailing copies of themselves to the contacts for a faster, more effective transmission (Fritsch et al, 2015). Numerous virus contain a…
