Viruses and more
Jokes (JOKES)
Jokes are merely intended to give someone a fright or provide general amusement
without causing harm or reproducing. When a joke program is loaded, the computer will
usually start at some point to play a tune or display something unusual on the screen.
Examples of jokes are the washing machine in the disk drive (DRAIN.COM) or the screen
eater (BUGSRES.COM).
But beware! All symptoms of joke programs may also originate from a virus or Trojan. At
the very least users will get quite a shock or be thrown into such a panic that they
themselves may cause real damage.
Thanks to the extension of its scanning and identification routines, Avira AntiVir Server
is able to detect joke programs and eliminate them as unwanted programs if required. If
the option Jokes is enabled with a check mark in the configuration under Extended
threat categories, a corresponding alert is issued if a joke program is detected.
Security Privacy Risk (SPR)
Software that maybe is able to compromise the security of your system, initiate
unwanted program activities, damage your privacy or spy out your user behavior and
might therefore be unwanted.
Avira AntiVir Server detects "Security Privacy Risk" software. If the option Security
Privacy Risk is enabled with a check mark in the configuration under Extended threat
categories, you receive a corresponding alert if Avira AntiVir Server detects such
software.
Backdoor Clients (BDC)
In order to steal data or manipulate computers, a backdoor server program is smuggled
in unknown to the user. This program can be controlled by a third party using backdoor
control software (client) via the Internet or a network.
Avira AntiVir Server detects "backdoor control software". If the option Backdoor
Clients is enabled with a check mark in the configuration under Extended threat
categories, you receive a corresponding alert if Avira AntiVir Server detects such
software.
Adware/Spyware (ADSPY)
"Software that displays advertising or software that sends the user's personal data
to a third party, often without their knowledge or consent, and for this reason may be
unwanted."
Avira AntiVir Server detects "Adware/Spyware". If the option Adware/Spyware is
enabled with a check mark in the configuration under Extended threat categories, you
receive a corresponding alert if Avira AntiVir Server detects such software.
Unusual Runtime Compression Tools (PCK)
Files that have been compressed with an unusual runtime compression tool and that can
therefore be classified as possibly suspicious.
