Introduction of virus

Virus is a program that enters your computer usually without the knowledge of the
operator and damage important files and makes slow operating system. Some
viruses are mild and only cause messages to appear on the screen, but others are
destructive and can wipe out the computer's memory or cause more severe
damage. A virus is program that reproduces its own code by attaching itself to other
executable file in such a way that the virus code is executed when the infected
executable file is executed. Virus is the programming file. A computer virus is a
program that runs on your computer doing things you would not want it to do.
Typically, this will involve doing damage to your hard drive, or sending mail without
your permission. A virus gets on to your computer usually when you connect to the
Internet. Browsing the Internet sometimes calls for small programs to be
downloaded to your computer, and they run there to help make the whole thing you
are looking at go quicker or easier. A virus is code that duplicates itself through a
host in other words a computer. Viruses alter or delete files and other data. They
also can send themselves to other computers via the infected computers email or
network. A virus is code that tries to travel from computer to computer by
attempting to copy itself, hide itself, and send itself to others. Most of the time,
viruses will also have harmful effects, depending on what the exact virus is. One
hypothetical example is a virus that changes your Windows user password to "slug
bug".

A computer virus is malicious software that enters your computer via email or
downloading files or via USB drives. Such Program written for intentionally to enter
a computer, without the user permission. The word parasite is used because a virus
attaches to files or boot sectors and replicates itself. A functional definition of a
computer virus must include the fact that it creates damage to the computer
system infected. This definition is somewhat simplified and does not cover all virus
types, but is sufficient to show the major differences between viruses and so called
"Trojan" programs, which is that the virus replicates, but the Trojan program does
not.

A computer virus is software that enters your computer via email or downloading. A
computer virus can be classified as any program or other piece of code that is
written to disrupt the normal operation of a computer.
