Question

what are the different threats to a windows system (denial of service, ransomware, etc) and how do they attack a system?

Explanation:

Denial - of - service (DoS) floods a system with requests, overwhelming it and preventing legitimate access. Ransomware encrypts files on the system, demanding a ransom for decryption. Other threats like viruses self - replicate and spread, worms can spread without user interaction, and Trojans disguise as legitimate software to gain access.

Answer:

Denial of service floods with requests, ransomware encrypts files, viruses self - replicate, worms spread autonomously, Trojans disguise to gain access.
