赛门铁克安全响应术语表[4]

This payload slows computer operations. This might involve allocating available memory, creating files that consume disk space, or causing programs to load or execute more slowly.
Deletes files
删除文件
这个有效载荷删除在硬盘上的各种文件。可能会被删除文件的数目和类型在病毒之中改变。
This payload deletes various files on the hard disk. The number and type of files that might be deleted vary among viruses.
Distribution
分布状态
这用来衡量一个恶意程序传播它自己的速度有多快。
This component measures how quickly a threat is able to spread itself.
Encrypted Virus
加密病毒
一个用加密技术来隐藏自己而不被扫描器发现的病毒。这意味着它把搅乱了它的程序代码，从而使它难以被发现。
A virus that uses encryption to hide itself from virus scanners. That is, it jumbles up it's program code to make it difficult to detect.
Geographic distribution
地理分布状态
这测量了已被报道的病毒地理感染范围。程度分为高（全球范围），中（出现在一定的地区），低（停留在一个地方或者根本就没有传播）。
This measures the range of separate geographic locations where infections have been reported. The measures are high (global threat), medium (threat present in a few geographic regions), and low (localized or non-wild threat).
Infection length
感染长度
这是被病毒插入到程序中的病毒代码的大小，用比特来表示。如果这是一个蠕虫或特洛依木马则长度表示为该文件的长度。
This is the size, in bytes, of the viral code that is inserted into a program by the virus. If this is a worm or Trojan horse the length represents the size of the file.
Large scale e-mailing
大比例发送E-MAIL
这个有效载荷的类型包括了发送邮件给很多人。这经常是通过访问一个本地的地址簿和发送在地址簿中有地址的确定数目的电子邮件来实现。
This type of payload involves sending emails out to large numbers of people. This is usually done by accessing a local address book and sending emails to a certain number of people within that address book.
Mobile Code
可移动代码
代码（软件）从一台主机传送到客户机上（或者传送到另一台主机上）被执行（运行）。譬如蠕虫。
Code (software) that is transferred from a host to a client (or another host computer) to be executed (run). When we talk about malicious mobile code we may use a Worm as an example.
Modifies files
修改文件
这个有效载荷改变电脑上的文件内容并且会使文件损坏。
This payload changes the contents of files on the computer and might corrupt files.
Name of attachment
附件名称
大多数的蠕虫做为电子邮件附件被传播。这条指出了通常该附件会被使用的名字。
Most worms are spread as attachments to emails. This field indicates the usual name or names that the attachment might be called.
Number of countries
国家数量
这测量了已知的发现感染的国家数量。
This is a measure of the number of countries where infections are known to have occurred.
Number of infections
感染数量
这测量了已知的被感染的电脑数量。
This measures the number of computers that are known to be infected.
Number of sites
场所数量
这测量了被感染的电脑的场所。这通常引用机构名称，如公司，政府办公室，以及类似的。
This measures the number of locations with infected computers. This normally refers to organizations such as companies, government offices, and the like.
Payload
有效载荷
这是病毒发作时的恶意行为。不是所有的病毒都有有效载荷，但有一些执行破坏行为。
This is the malicious activity that the virus performs. Not all viruses have payloads, but there are some that perform destructive actions.
Payload trigger
触发条件
这是导致病毒激活或激活部分它的有效载荷的条件。一些病毒会在某一个特定的日子引发它们的有效载荷。其它的一些病毒则有可能基于某个特定的程序被执行时或者当Internet连接可用时来引发它们的有效载荷基。
This is the condition that causes the virus to activate or drop its destructive payload. Some viruses trigger their payloads on a certain date. Others might trigger their payload based on the execution of certain programs or the availability of an Internet connection.
Polymorphic Virus
多态病毒
一种当它复制的时候有更改自己字节能力从而避免被简单的字符串扫描技术发现的病毒。
