Worms can be classified according to the propagation method they use,
i.e. how they deliver copies of themselves to new victim machines.
Worms can also be classified by installation method, launch method and finally according
to characteristics standard to all malware: polymorphism, stealth etc.
Many of the worms which managed to cause significant outbreaks use more then
one propagation method as well as more than one infection technique.
The methods are listed separately below.
Hijackers are software programs that modify users' default browser home page,
search settings, error page settings, or desktop wallpaper without adequate notice, disclosure,
or user consent.
When the default home page is hijacked, the browser opens to the web page set by the hijacker
instead of the user's designated home page. In some cases, the hijacker may block users from
restoring their desired home page.
A search hijacker redirects search results to other pages and may
transmit search and browsing data to unknown servers. An error page hijacker directs
the browser to another page, usually an advertising page, instead of the usual error
page when the requested URL is not found.
A desktop hijacker replaces the desktop wallpaper with advertising
for products and services on the desktop.
Hijackers take control of various parts of your web browser, including your home page,
search pages, and search bar. They may also redirect you to certain sites should you
mistype an address or prevent you from going to a website they would rather you not,
such as sites that combat malware. Some will even redirect you to their own search engine
when you attempt a search. NB: hijackers almost exclusively target Internet Explorer.
