When the program runs, the written virus program is executed first, causing infection and damage. The virus writes its own code into the host program. Ĭomputer viruses generally require a host program. If this replication succeeds, the affected areas are then said to be 'infected' with a computer virus, a metaphor derived from biological viruses.
Security information and event management (SIEM)Ī computer virus is a type of computer program that, when executed, replicates itself by modifying other computer programs and inserting its own code.Host-based intrusion detection system (HIDS).
