terjedésbl

Terjedésbl, also known as the "spreadsheet virus," is a type of malware that targets spreadsheet applications, primarily Microsoft Excel. It is designed to propagate itself by infecting other spreadsheet files, often without the user's knowledge. The term "terjedésbl" is derived from the Hungarian word for "spread," reflecting its primary function.

The spread of terjédésbl typically occurs through the use of macros, which are small programs embedded within spreadsheet files. When an infected file is opened, the macro executes, copying itself to other files in the same directory or even to other locations on the computer. This can lead to widespread infection, making it difficult to remove the malware completely.

Terjedésbl can have various effects on an infected system, including data corruption, system slowdowns, and potential data loss. It can also be used to deliver other types of malware, such as ransomware or keyloggers, further compromising the security of the affected device.

Preventing terjédésbl infection involves several best practices. Users should be cautious when opening files from unknown or untrusted sources, and they should ensure that their software is up-to-date with the latest security patches. Additionally, using built-in security features in spreadsheet applications, such as macro warnings and disabling macros by default, can help mitigate the risk of infection.
