👉 Processor infections, often referred to as malware or cyber viruses, are malicious software programs designed to infiltrate and compromise computer systems. These infections can occur through various means, such as downloading infected files, clicking on malicious links, or exploiting software vulnerabilities. Once inside, they can disrupt system operations, steal sensitive data, or even take control of the device. Modern processors often include built-in security features like antivirus software, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems to mitigate these threats. However, sophisticated infections can bypass these defenses, necessitating continuous updates and vigilant user practices to protect against evolving cyber threats.
