UNCLASSIFIED
VIRUS
a program or programming code that replicates by being copied or initiating its copying to another program, computer boot sector or document. Viruses can perform an almost endless number of activities on the host computer.
HIJACKER
Hijackers are applications that attempt to take control of the user's home page or search function and reset it with the site of the hijacker's settings. This site is almost always loaded with ads, pop-ups, and/or other make-money-fast portals. Many use stealth techniques or misleading dialogue boxes to perform installation. Hijacker programs will put a reference to themselves in the StartUp or Registry, so that the software reinstalls itself every time the computer is started. If the user tries to change any of these settings, the hijacker then changes them back upon reboot.
