Malware, short for malicious software, is a broad term used to describe any type of software intentionally designed to harm, exploit, or compromise computer systems, networks, or devices. It encompasses various forms of malicious programs, including viruses, worms, Trojans, ransomware, and spyware, with the intent of causing damage, stealing data, or gaining unauthorised access.
What is a trojan?
A trojan is a type of malicious software that disguises itself as a legitimate program to deceive users into executing it. Once activated, it performs unauthorised actions, such as stealing data, providing remote access to the attacker, or damaging the system, without the user's knowledge or consent.
What is spyware?
Spyware is a type of malicious software that secretly collects information about a user's activities without their knowledge or consent. It is designed to monitor online behaviour, track keystrokes, capture sensitive information, and transmit it to third parties, often for malicious purposes such as identity theft or unauthorised surveillance.
What is adware?
Adware is a type of software that displays unwanted advertisements to users, typically in the form of pop-up windows or banners, often without their consent. Its primary purpose is to generate revenue for the developers by promoting products or services, but it can also negatively impact user experience and compromise privacy.
What is ransomware?
Ransomware is a type of malicious software that encrypts files on a victim's computer, making them inaccessible until a ransom is paid. It is designed to extort money from individuals or organisations by holding their data hostage, posing a significan't threat to data security and privacy.
What is a worm?
Worms are self-replicating malware that spread across networks without requiring user interaction or the need to attach themselves to a host program. They exploit vulnerabilities in computer systems to propagate rapidly, causing disruptions, consuming network resources, and potentially delivering payloads such as additional malware or destructive actions.
What is an exploit?
An exploit refers to a piece of code or technique that takes advantage of a vulnerability or weakness in software, hardware, or a system to gain unauthorised access, perform malicious actions, or bypass security measures. Exploits can lead to unauthorised control, data theft, or the execution of malicious payloads, posing significan't risks to the targeted system or network.
What is scareware?
Scareware is a type of malicious software that uses deceptive tactics, such as alarming pop-up messages or fake security alerts, to trick users into believing their computer is infected with malware or at risk. Its primary goal is to scare or intimidate users into purchasing unnecessary or fake security software, generating revenue for the attackers while providing no real protection or value.
What is a backdoor?
A backdoor is a hidden and unauthorised entry point into a computer system, application, or network that bypasses normal authentication mechanisms. It provides a secret means of access for attackers, enabling them to gain control, execute commands, or extract sensitive information without detection or proper authorisation.
What is a botnet?
A botnet is a network of compromised computers or devices that are under the control of a central command-and-control server. It is typically used by cybercriminals to carry out various malicious activities, such as launching distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, distributing spam or malware, or conducting large-scale coordinated attacks, leveraging the combined computing power of the compromised devices.
What is a rootkit?
A rootkit is a very stealthy and malicious software designed to hide the presence of malware or malicious activities on a compromised system. They typically modify or replace core operating system components to maintain unauthorised access, evade detection by security tools, and control the victim system without the user's knowledge or consent.
What is a keylogger?
A keylogger is a type of malicious software that secretly records and captures keystrokes made by a user on a computer or mobile device. It is designed to monitor and collect sensitive information, such as passwords, credit card numbers, or other confidential data, which can then be used for unauthorised purposes such as identity theft or unauthorised access.
What is a Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity refers to the practice of protecting computer systems, networks, and data from digital attacks, unauthorized access, and other potential cyber threats. It involves various security measures, technologies, and protocols as to safeguard information, confidentiality, integrity, and other digital assets.
Can my website be hacked?
WordPress websites are vulnerable to two types of attacks. A hacker guessing your login password, or if you've installed a plugin that was made by a hacker. Websites can unknowingly facilitate viruses, and they often do not directly affect the website but hijack the web server CPU to execute their own scripts, resulting in a slow website.

What is a mailbox and where is it stored?
A mailbox is where all your inbox, folders (including sent and trash), and emails are stored. The mailbox is stored on your email provider's server. For example, if you're using Hotmail, your emails are stored on a Microsoft server, and if you're using Gmail, your emails are stored on a Google server. Every email and attachment within your mailbox occupies file space within the server.
Why does a mailbox become full?
A mailbox becomes full when it reaches its storage capacity. However, it's typically not the number of emails that fills up the mailbox but the size of email attachments. While emails themselves are usually small (1 to 2 kilobytes each), attachments, such as images and videos, take up much more space. Therefore, when a mailbox is full, it's often due to a large amount of email attachments rather than a large number of emails.
How can email providers increase your email storage limits?
We have the ability to allocate more storage space for your mailbox, however, this may cost you more in hosting charges.
How can I get rid of duplicate emails in Outlook?
If you have duplicate emails in Outlook, you can remove them by using a script specifically designed for this purpose. The script searches for duplicate emails and moves them to a new 'duplicate' folder. Once the duplicate emails are moved, you can easily delete the entire folder. The process of finding and moving duplicate emails may take up to 30 minutes, and a popup message will appear once it's completed.
What is the recommended size limit for Microsoft Outlook?
Microsoft Outlook has a recommended size limit of around 20GB for its data file. When the data file reaches approximately 50GB, Outlook may stop working completely and display the error message 'Outlook Data File has reached the Maximum Size.' If you encounter this error, it can be resolved by adjusting a registry value within Windows. A script called 'Outlook Store Increase' can assist in raising the limit easily.
What are the potential consequences of exceeding the recommended Outlook size limit?
Exceeding the recommended Outlook size limit, typically around 50GB, can lead to file storage corruptions. Although it's possible to raise the limit to higher numbers, it's generally not recommended. Going beyond 80GB often results in an increased risk of file storage corruptions, which can lead to data loss or other Outlook functionality issues.
What is Outlook Archive and how does it work?
Outlook Archive is a feature that allows you to manage your mailbox by moving older emails to a separate 'Archive' folder. By specifying a date, Outlook moves all emails before that date into the Archive folder. The unique aspect of this feature is that the emails stored in the Archive folder are saved in a separate file on your device rather than on the server. This helps alleviate storage problems while still providing easy access to your old emails.
How can I enable Outlook Archive in Outlook 2016 (PC)?
To enable Outlook Archive in Outlook 2016 (PC), follow these instructions:
1. Click on 'File' in the Outlook toolbar.
2. Go to 'Tools' and select 'Cleanup Tools'.
3. Click on 'Mailbox cleanup..' and then on the 'AutoArchive' button.
4. Return to the inbox, right-click on 'Inbox', and choose 'Properties'.
5. Select the 'AutoArchive' tab and enable the option to 'Archive items in this folder using the default settings'.
6. Click the 'Default Archive Settings' button and set it to run every 14 days.
7. Adjust the 'Clean out items older than' setting to 10 months.
8. Right-click on 'Sent Items' and select 'Properties'.
9. On the 'AutoArchive' tab, select 'Archive items in this folder using the default settings'.
10. Repeat steps 8 and 9 for other large folders you want to archive.
Note: If the archived emails are important, you can make a copy of the 'archive.pst' file, where the emails are stored, and save it elsewhere for backup purposes.
What are the typical size limits for email attachments?
The size limits for email attachments vary depending on the email provider and software. Here are some examples:
- Our standard hosting server has a limit of 50MB for both receiving and sending (52,428,800 bytes).
- Microsoft Outlook software can handle attachments up to 100MB, but it restricts adding attachments larger than 20MB (20,480,000 bytes).
- The Outlook email server has a maximum limit of 50MB (49,283,072 bytes).
- Windows Live Mail can handle attachments up to 50MB but is limited to 10MB per sent email.
- Gmail allows sending attachments up to 25MB and receiving attachments up to 50MB (157,286,400 byte receive limit).
- Ymail allows sending and receiving attachments up to 25MB (41,943,040 byte receive limit).
- Hotmail allows sending attachments up to 10MB (49,283,072 byte maximum).
- AOL allows sending and receiving attachments up to 25MB (41,943,040 byte limit).
- Protonmail allows sending and receiving attachments up to 25MB (36,480,000 byte limit).
For larger files, it's recommended to use cloud storage services designed for transferring large files, as email systems are not primarily designed to handle large attachments by themselves.
What is the recommended approach for transferring large files?
To transfer large files, it's best to utilise cloud storage services instead of relying solely on email attachments. Email systems are not specifically designed for handling large attachments efficiently. By using cloud storage services, you can upload the file to the cloud and share a download link with the recipient. This method is more reliable, efficient, and doesn't strain the email infrastructure or cause issues with attachment size limits.
What are some ways viruses can affect email hosts?
Viruses typically don't directly infect email hosts, but they can steal email login credentials to hijack Outlook and send unauthorised emails. These viruses may send a high volume of emails that won't appear in the sent items folder, but you may receive returned or undelivered messages in your inbox. More information here: https://queenslandtech.com.au/security-solutions/
What steps should be taken to resolve email infections?
To resolve email infections, it is recommended to first check your desktop machine for any viruses and then change your email password. By taking these measures, you can mitigate the risk of unauthorised access to your email account and prevent further spread of viruses.

Once infected, these viruses can propagate by going through all your contacts and sending emails to them. This malware behaviour can severely disrupt businesses and cause significan't damage.
What is the challenge faced by many anti-virus software vendors regarding new viruses?
Many anti-virus vendors struggle to detect and remove new viruses that are getting through undetected. These new viruses no longer make exact copies of themselves but create modified copies, making it difficult for anti-virus software vendors to keep track of every new version of the same virus.
Does Queensland Tech offer email virus scannning?
Queensland Tech offers the ultimate inbox virus scanner that scans attachments within your inbox. It takes suspect files and sends them to be scanned by 60 different anti-virus vendors. If a small percentage of these vendors flag the file as a virus, the email containing the file is moved to a designated 'Virus' folder, contributing to teaching other anti-virus vendors to recognise the virus.
How does Queensland Tech's inbox virus scanner contribute to improving virus detection?
By scanning suspect files with 60 different anti-virus vendors, Queensland Tech's inbox virus scanner helps in identifying and isolating potential viruses. The process of moving emails to the 'Virus' folder educates other anti-virus vendors about the virus, contributing to the overall improvement of virus detection and protection.
What are the risks associated with receiving viruses in your inbox?
Receiving viruses in your inbox poses significan't risks as it can lead to unauthorised access, compromise sensitive information, and potentially bring businesses to a halt. Taking proactive measures to detect and remove viruses from your inbox is essential to ensure the security and smooth operation of your systems.
What is email spoofing?
Email spoofing is where someone sends from an email address which is the same as someone else. However we use methods which makes it difficult for others to spoof your email address. More information available here: https://queenslandtech.com.au/fix-email-spam/
What is phishing?
Phishing is pretending to be a real business when you're not. Phishing uses spoofing as to deliberately try to trick you and make you click on a link within the email. More information here: https://queenslandtech.com.au/fix-email-spam/
What is SPF
SPF stands for Sender Policy Framework. It is an email authentication method that helps prevent email spoofing and phishing. SPF allows the owner of a domain to specify which email servers are authorised to send emails on behalf of that domain. This helps in protecting the domain`s reputation and reducing the likelihood of emails being marked as spam. More information here: https://queenslandtech.com.au/fix-email-spam/
What is SPF (Sender Policy Framework) and how does it work?
SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is a mechanism used to authenticate the origin of emails. It relies on DNS records associated with the domain name. These records link the domain name to the correct servers and can specify which servers are authorised to send emails on behalf of the domain. When a receiving email system encounters an SPF record, it can look up the domain name of the sender's email address and verify if the server that sent the email is authorised to send emails for that domain. This helps prevent email spoofing and improves email security. More information here: https://queenslandtech.com.au/fix-email-spam/
What components are included in an SPF record?
An SPF record includes several components to define which servers are allowed or not allowed to send emails. Here is an example of an SPF record with an explanation of its components:
v=spf1 ip4:157.55.9.128/25 ip6: ip6:0:0:0:0:0:ffff:cc4f:c5d4 a mx include:spf.protection.outlook.com ptr:microsoft.com ~all
- v=spf1: This indicates that it is an SPF record.
- ip4:157.55.9.128/25: Specifies an accepted server email address range.
- ip6:0:0:0:0:0:ffff:cc4f:c5d4: Allows email from an IPv6 address.
- a: Accepts email from the website server.
- mx: Accepts email from the same place where we receive email.
- include:spf.protection.outlook.com: Includes the SPF records found at this address.
- ptr:microsoft.com: Includes the server with this domain name.
- ~all: This flag indicates what to do if none of the expected servers was listed. -all means ignore all other servers, while ~all means to probably ignore other servers.
What is DKIM?
DKIM stands for DomainKeys Identified Mail. It is an email authentication method that helps protect against email spoofing and phishing. DKIM allows the recipient`s email server to verify that the email has been sent by the domain it claims to be from, and that it has not been modified during transit. It uses cryptographic signatures to verify the authenticity of the email.
How does a DKIM work?
DKIM (Domain Keys Identified Mail) is a protocol that works in conjunction with SPF. It uses the domain DNS and publishes a certificate key within a subdomain called 'default._domainkey'. DKIM hides the signature within the headers of every email that is sent. When an email is received, the email server reads the signature and compares it to the domain key to determine if the domain authorises the email. DKIM helps verify the integrity and authenticity of emails, adding an extra layer of email authentication and security.
What components are included in a DKIM record?
A DKIM record includes the following components:
v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=MIIBIjANBgkqhkizG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIzIBCgKCAQEzA3QIAXhjpriqQOJmq2k1z3B7Zqd
- v=DKIM1: This indicates that it is a DKIM record (version 1).
- k=rsa: Specifies the type of certificate being used (in this case, RSA).
- p=MIIBIjANBgkqhkizG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIzIBCgKCAQEzA3QIAXhjpriqQOJmq2k1z3B7Zqd: Represents the public key used for DKIM verification. This key is published within the DNS in the 'default._domainkey' subdomain.
What is DMARC?
DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance) is an email authentication protocol that helps prevent email spoofing and phishing attacks. It allows email senders to specify policies for email authentication, provides feedback on the email delivery status, and helps protect the reputation of the domain by enforcing strict email authentication practices.
How does DMARC work?
DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance) is an additional layer of email authentication that works on top of SPF and DKIM. It is stored in the DNS, specifically in the '_dmarc' subdomain. DMARC instructs receiving email servers on what to do when an email fails SPF or DKIM tests. It can specify actions such as quarantining, rejecting, or taking no action on failed emails. Additionally, DMARC allows the domain owner to specify an email address to receive reports about unauthorised emails received from their domain. DMARC enhances email security and helps prevent email phishing and spoofing attacks.
What components are included in a DMARC record?
A DMARC record includes the following components:
v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; adkim=s; aspf=s; rua=mailto:
- v=DMARC1: This indicates that it is a DMARC record (version 1).
