Worm Palevo, also known as W32, is a malicious program that infects your computer if you have an expired anti-virus program, or one whose registry is obsolete. This program is known for infecting operating systems that run on Windows. You can easily become a victim of this kind of program by visiting certain malicious websites.
Worm Palevo, once installed on your computer, infects your operating system by getting onto your hard drives and any removable media connected to your machine. It infects the documents and tries to make certain data on your hard drive unavailable. It can be a threat to your operating system in the sense that it allows other malicious programs to be installed on your computer. It can also weaken your PC’s performance and create security loopholes in your personal data (when you make online purchases or use your bank card for anything online, you expose your machine to security risks). This program is also able to start up at the same time that your computer does.
To deal with this kind of program, it is recommended that you use a good anti-virus program with an updated database. This will allow you to detect Worm Palevo before it gets installed on your computer.
