Victims were conned out of thousands of pounds. In October 2019, the BBC reported that a combined operation by British Police, Indian police and Microsoft had shut down two Indian call centres using web pages and phone calls to sell fake computer security services. There is even fake anti-malware offered for sale, especially for mobile devices.Ĭheck the reviews of anti-malware software by reputable organisations: Note that not all anti-malware software is equally good. Fortunately, these problems are rare, easily fixed and much less serious than the risk from a malware attack. It is not uncommon for several variants of a malware program to be published at intervals, each sufficiently different that they possess different signatures.Ī second weakness of signatures is that more sophisticated malware has the ability to change its program (it is said to be polymorphic or metamorphic), disguising itself without affecting its operation.Īlthough antivirus software is an essential part of protecting your computer, it is not a complete solution to malware problems.ĭespite the best endeavours of its makers, antivirus software has occasionally proved to contain bugs with consequences like being inaccurate, failing to update itself or simply consuming huge amounts of computer power. During this period, the malware can propagate and attack unprotected systems, exploiting the so-called ‘zero day’ vulnerabilities that exist until the systems are fixed and antivirus signatures are updated. As a result there is a period between a new piece of malware being released ‘into the wild’ and when its signature can be incorporated into antivirus products. An antivirus program may contain thousands of signatures, but it can only detect malware for which a signature has been identified and published by the antivirus program’s authors. A malware’s signature is a distinctive pattern of data either in memory or in a file. ![]()
