How does a computer get infected in the first place?
There are many ways in which your computer can become infected. Most of the time, once an infection gets into your system, there is no way to trace back to determine exactly where the infection came from or how it was installed. Here are some common conduits for malware to get into your system.
By far one of the most common ways a computer becomes infected is when a user accepts what they see on the screen without reading the prompt before proceeding.
From Infected Websites or Plugins
Like computers, websites themselves can become infected, and infect users who visit the hacked or compromised site. Vulnerabilities in plugins can be exploited across all different browsers with the plugin across all different operating systems. A Flash plugin vulnerability could be used to exploit Chrome, Firefox, or Internet Explorer running on Windows, Linux, or Mac.
From Outdated Software & Plugins
Old versions of Microsoft Office, Adobe Flash Player, internet browsers etc, often have known security holes that are never fixed. This is one of the most critical reasons to keep your software fully up to date. You probably have at least three applications installed that make your computer vulnerable to cyber-attacks! Outdated software is a HUGE part of cyber threats and attacks.
From Malicious Advertisements
Ads on the trusted site may look harmless, but the unseen world of internet advertising creates a shady and lucrative, market for purposely infecting users via poisoned or deceptive ads. The purveyors of these ads receive compensation from malware authors for every system they infect. There have been reported cases where malware has spread via YouTube ads and on social media platform.
From Google Bombing or Fake Apps
It’s common that popular applications and tools can be outranked by fake apps in a google search. For example searching for a free media player called “VLC” or for “HP printer drivers” or “PDF to Word converter” provides many search results, several of them are not only fake but often malicious. This can lead users to be tricked into not only downloading but installing malicious applications.
