LAN stands for "Local Area Network" in Chinese ", it is a branch of a computer network application. Because each computer in the network is connected through a server, the transmission rate of information in the LAN is relatively high, and it also provides an effective channel for virus transmission, generally, viruses are transmitted in the LAN through the following channels:
1. because a large part of the use of LAN is in sharing resources, it is precisely because of the "openness of Data" of shared resources that it creates the directness of virus infection.
2. Because some servers belong to low-end servers or are simply restructured from normal PCs, they are not very powerful in performance. Therefore, when computers transmit data through servers and external data, once the server is infected with external viruses, all data that needs to pass through the server will also be infected with the virus, resulting in the overall network infection.
3. The biggest characteristic of LAN is the fast and easy transmission of computer data in the network. If one computer is infected with a virus, any data transmitted with the computer will be infected with the virus.
4. If one of the computers in the LAN is infected with viruses and information is transmitted through the server, the server will be infected. Now, any computer in the LAN that transmits information through the server will be infected with viruses.
5. network users are not aware of viruses, which may cause frequent virus infections.
It is precisely because of these unique characteristics of LAN applications that cause rapid transmission of viruses in the LAN. Computers in the LAN are infected with each other, and the viruses are endless.
