Logic Bomb Usually of payloads; code that only runs when particular logical conditions are met while executing the virus or Trojan carrying it. For example, many viruses have payloads that only run on a certain date or between two dates or times, whereas others have payloads that only run after a specific number of files or boot sectors have been infected, and yet others check for any number and manner of other conditions. Companion Viruses These viruses duplicate existing executable files and change their ending. Lets say you have a file game.exe, then the companion virus will create another file game.com. The system will launch .com prior to .exe if it finds two executable files with the same name. Another kind of companion virus, will rename the original file then copy the virus in the same path with the same name as original file. Boot Viruses These viruses spread thru the boot sectors (floppies, Master Boot Record etc). Parasitic Viruses These viruses infect executable files. Whenever the infected file is launched the virus will activate. Link Viruses These viruses can be very harmful. They alter the directory structure and redirect the directory entry to the place that contains a virus. Disinfecting these viruses is very dangerous also. Cavity Infectors Whenever the regular virus attaches to the program, it can be detected by seeing the increase of file size. Cavity infectors find a hole and record themselves there, so the actual file size won't increase. Macro Viruses They are placed inside the macros within the document. They are usually found in the documents of Microsoft Office Applications. Multipartite Viruses These are viruses which target several file types. ...
