Answer» I have a question.
Is there a virus out there that can copy information to use on a different site? Personal information such as name, DOB, where you're from etc. And can a virus actually REGISTER you as a member to a site? Or is this only possible if a person were to physically do it themselves?
ThanksTheoretically a virus can access anything stored on or entered into your computer.Okey dokes that makes sense.
But can a virus INPUT your personal information it has gained from your computer onto a website? Can a virus create a membership or profile on a website and use your personal DETAILS? i.e. your name, DOB, marital status, favourite colour? That kind of thing?
Thanks for the reply They could yes but that's generally not how they operate - They would just send the information to a third party who would use it for whatever they want. There's no reason for a virus to register you an account on a website UNLESS it's for some sort of identity theft.
