Random attacks capitalize on soft targets.
The term virus generally refers to code that requires a host program to latch onto. For example, you might receive a Word document that contains a virus. But there are also worms, which are applications themselves and can replicate and send themselves through computer networks. Finally, there’s the Trojan Horse, programs that claim to be benign but are really designed to damage your computer.
Melissa
This virus from the 1990s, delivered as an attachment to an email, immediately raided the recipient’s contact list and sent out 50 identical emails, each with a viral attachment. Melissa crashed a number of companies’ email systems and earned its creator a 20-month prison sentence.
ILOVEYOU
This virus disguised as a letter from a secret admirer performed a number of malicious activities, including destroying files, replicating itself throughout the computer, and sending itself out in emails.
Code Red
This virus launched a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack on the U.S. government by getting every infected computer to try to contact the White House.
MyDoom
One of the fastest spreading viruses ever, MyDoom launched DDoS attacks against Microsoft, SCO, Google and other hi-tech companies.
Storm Worm
This malicious program turned computers in zombies under a hacker’s control. The hacker was able to use Storm Worm to create a bot army to launch attacks on specific targets.
Malicious actors who create and release viruses sometimes have specific targets in mind: government entities and large corporations. But often their attacks are random and widespread.

That’s where KMF comes in. We harden your defenses by the best corporate antivirus solutions, so the bad guys have to take their business elsewhere, and you’re left alone to conduct yours
