Most spread virus on the Web…

In today’s PC society we have lot of virus running around the web, but we can clearly determine which are more spread and more dangerous for you. I’m going to talk about Macro virus ( not dangerous if your Antivirus is up to date ).

The Macro viruses are the ones that we find most frequent this day, they propagate when a Microsoft document Word, Excel or contaminated PowerPoint is executed. Originally, the language of macro allows to create shortcuts to make common tasks, for example: a key prints a document, protects it and closes the application. The Macro Viruses spread very quickly.  When we open a document on which settled the virus, it infects the doc at once then, in its continuation, all the documents which will be opened within the application. Documents Word, Excel and PowerPoint being documents most often shared, sent by Internet, this explains the fast distribution of these viruses. Furthermore, the programming language of the Macro is much easier to learn and less complicated than a classic programming language.
If these viruses are very frequent, they are on the other hand easily contournables with an antivirus up to date.
