History
• The first computer virus was called “Creeper.”It was invented in the early 1970’s.Since then, millions of viruses have been invented.
• The first known computer virus was written in 1981 by a man named Rich Skrenta . This virus was termed Elk Cloner, and was the first computer virus to appear outside the computer where it was created in.

Boot Sector Virus
It places its own codesand commands into MBR.

Direct Action Virus
•They load with the host program into computer’s memory.
•They can be crafted with relative ease.

File Infector Virus
A file infector is a virus that infects an executable file.
Typically affects only one type of file.
![Page 14: Computer Viruses](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070316/555a2903d8b42a900d8b4a6a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Macro Virus
• These type of virus infects word , excel, PowerPoint, access and other data files. Once infected repairing of these files is very much difficult.
![Page 15: Computer Viruses](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070316/555a2903d8b42a900d8b4a6a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Multipartite Virus
• May attack in more than one methods.
![Page 16: Computer Viruses](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070316/555a2903d8b42a900d8b4a6a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Polymorphic Virus
• A virus that can encrypt its code in different ways so that it appears differently in each infection. These viruses are more difficult to detect.
![Page 17: Computer Viruses](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070316/555a2903d8b42a900d8b4a6a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Resident Virus• Hides within the computers memory.• It activates whenever the OS loads or operates.• This virus may be pernicious.• It is of 2 types: Fast Infector. Slow Infector.• Removal of this virus is bit tricky.• It may be designed to block the actions of Anti
Virus programs.

WEB SCRIPTING VIRUS
There are few website that execute complex code with the purpose to provide interesting content ,these codes often get exploited and due to this a virus becomes able to infect a machine and to take actions on a machine via website. This particular virus is called web scripting virus
