Our Keyboard also needs protection against viruses

The keyboard is the most important device connected to your computer. When a problem arises, you can be left helpless until it can be solved, the viruses that affect these mainly delete files, mark memory clusters as bad and sometimes interfere with the function of the computer hardware. The hardware is not directly affected by the virus, but the driver software is often damaged. This prevents the keyboard from typing or typing letters other than those being pressed.

The variants of malware that exist in the network are very numerous and can affect all types of devices, programs and systems. The objectives that cybercriminals have are also very varied, although generally what they cause is the malfunction of equipment and the theft of information.

How our Keyboard can get exposed to a virus?

Hackers commonly gain access because viruses open a door in computer security. The virus sends the necessary information to the hacker, who tries to take remote control of the computer. One of the symptoms of remote hacking is loss of control over the keyboard. The mouse also seem to move by itself. A remote hacker can sometimes be frustrated by the user by restarting the computer.

A good way to protect ourselves against these, of course, is to have a good anti-virus service of course, but what you can do anyway is to enable a good firewall that asks the user for permission before the changes are produced on your hard drive. This firewall function temporarily interrupts what you are doing, but it is an effective form of protection against unauthorized programs.
