FORUM DESCRIPTION (1)
Malicious software, or malware, is one of the most significant categories of threats to computer systems. Discuss two types of malware and clarify how they cause damage to systems. Support your discussions with real-life examples and elaborate on the countermeasures that would prevent the situation.
You are required to reply to at least two of your peers’ discussion question post answers to this weekly discussion question and/or your instructor’s response to your post. These replies need to be substantial and constructive in nature. They should add to the content of the post and evaluate/analyze that post’s answer. Normal course dialogue doesn’t fulfill these two peer replies, but is expected throughout the course.
Be sure to support your statements with logic and argument, citing any sources referenced. Post your initial response early and check back often to continue the discussion. Be sure to respond to at least two of your peers’ posts as well.
