Can Virus attack data on CD ROMs?
Virus can attack data on CD-ROM’s. This is possible. The reason for this can be many.
A CD-ROM is one of the most essential hardware that is needed to save data’s that are important for future use. In such case, it should be highly protected. But, these are devices that can be infected with viruses and there is a greatest possibility to lose the sensitive information stored to it. Recovery of the data lost is also highly risky issue.
One of the reasons for a virus to attack CD-ROM is not updating the anti-virus software up-to-date. This might lead to virus attacks when one visits sites that host lots of pop up windows and banners and also through downloading a email document containing virus, not knowing what it is. Virus can affect any hardware of the system. It all depends on the place where the attachment is saved. This location will be corrupted first and the data will be lost.
The data stored on CD-ROM is highly sensitive as it is one of the important hardware of a system. Hence, the viruses have more chance to attack CD-ROM’s because the data that are lost can never be recovered unless one holds a back up for it. Still there are some procedures to be done to clear the virus and format it.
To avoid such virus attacks, keep your anti-virus software up-to-date and run it regularly. Never ever open an email that is of different name with an attachment before scanning it.
