In order to help user having better knowledge about computer virus, we make a detailed introduction about its dangers and the know-how of computer protection. Computer virus is a special program edited by human being, which can disorder, alter and demolish the computer software and duplicate and infect other programs. Computer will execute as per these error commands and then damage user’s data. Computer virus is infectious, which is very harmful, usually such infections are achieved through computer hard drive, floppy, CD, removable storage device and internet. The main dangers of computer virus include: abnormal monitor displaying, destroying saved data, changing contents saved in discs, disturbing normal work, slowing down of computer processing speed, furthermore causing computer death, eventually disabling the computer. Major behavior and damages of computer virus: 1．Directly destroy computer data excited by virus Most viruses will directly destroy important computer data when excited, such as formatting disc, altering registry form and content, deleting important files or replacing file with rubbish data, and destroying CMOS settings. 2．Occupy disc space and destroy data Virus parasitizing disc will occupy disc space. The boot virus will occupy the booting sector, meanwhile transfer the original booting sector into different sector, in other words, the boot virus will cover a disc sector. The data in this covered sector will be lost permanently and could not be recovered. File virus will infect through DOS functions, which can detect the available space of disc, write the infected part onto the blank part of disc. Therefore it will not destroy the original data during infection but will illegally occupy disc space. Some file virus can infect lots of files in a very short period of time. Every infected file will be bigger than before in different extent, which will make severe waste of disc space. 3．Possess system resources Most viruses permanently stay in memory dynamically, which will possess part of system resources. The memory length possessed by virus is basically the same as that of the virus itself. Virus takes over memory, decreases the availability of memory and furthermore some software is disabled. Besides, virus will also occupy ISR, disturbing the process of system. Many functions of Shanghai Doli Photographic Equipment Co., Ltd 109 DL-0810 Digital Minilab Operation Manual computer OS are achieved through User Break technology. In order to transfer excitation, virus will often amend some correlated relay address then disturb the process of system. 4．Affecting computer speed Not only disturbing the system process, the virus will affect the speed of computer. Main Characteristics: In order to judge the conditions of infection excitation, the virus will monitor the work status of computer. Act as self-protection, static virus on disc is encrypted; the dynamic ones in memory are also encrypted. Every time when CPU addresses the location of virus, it will run a program to decrypt the encrypted virus into legal CPU command and execute. And the virus will be encrypted again. This constant battle will cost CPU tremendous waste on its resources. 5．Affecting compatibility of virus on system Compatibility is an important index of computer software. Software with good compatibility can be run under different circumstances of various computers; on the contrary the software with poor compatibility is nit-picking on the running condition, such as computer model or version of OS. The creator of virus usually will not test the virus in various situations; therefore the compatibility of virus is poor, which often results in computer death. How to defend virus attack: If DL-0810 digital minilab is infected with virus, the efficiency of the machine is going to be debasing, even important data saved in disc will be destroyed, and resulting in system collapse and the user will suffer subsequently. We recommend that the user take precaution at all time: 1. Strictly prohibit installing pirated software in the system. All operation system and the other software installed in the machine are legally registered. 2. Anti-virus software must be activated when the machine is running, enabling surveillance of the system. 3. “Prevent illness at the mouth”, carefully check all media brought by customers with virus killing software. 4. Periodically update the anti-virus software. 110 Shanghai Doli Photographic Equipment Co., Ltd The chemicals are not included in the machine. Ltd 111 .
