This topic caught my attention 'cause this topic is not so common in a plain student of TUPC Thanks for this important information Ma'am

Melissa is a fast-spreading macro virus that is distributed as an e-mail attachment that, when opened, disables a number of safeguards in Word 97 or Word 2000, and, if the user has the Microsoft Outlook e-mail program, causes the virus to be resent to the first 50 people in each of the user's address books. While it does not destroy files or other resources, Melissa has the potential to disable corporate and other mail servers as the ripple of e-mail distribution becomes a much larger wave. On Friday, March 26, 1999, Melissa caused the Microsoft Corporation to shut down incoming e-mail. Intel and other companies also reported being affected. The U. S. Department of Defense-funded Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) issued a warning about the virus and developed a fix. that`s all:)

Maam I Have A Question

Is There A Good Malware ?

Can we have a unharmful viruses?

can someone can make a helpful virus?

what are the sign's if the site has Malware? or how can we prevent malwares?

using Anti-virus, all malwares can be prevented?

i know some malwares are stronger than Anti-viruses. in that case, what we can do if our anti-virus cant remove some malwares?

how can protect our computer if we encountered Trojan virus as the Strongest/harmful virus?

how can we stop worms if they replicate themselves too much?

how can we know the category of virus if we dont have much knowledge about malwares?

if the computer or device has too many types of malwares inside, how can we remove them? using what?

Ma'am. Is there a possibility that a computer may not have virus? Is there a computer that prevents from having malware?
