Computer Viruses — What They Do
July 20th, 2008 . by adminA computer virus is a program that enters someone’s computer without permission. It often disrupts tasks for the computer to perform. There are many ways to get computer viruses, but there are only a handful of ways to get rid of them. A virus can only spread from one computer to next if it is transferred through the internet (through downloading and uploading) and when an infected computer part is used another computer, therefore, that computer will become infected because a virus can copy itself. Getting rid of a virus can be time consuming, tedious, and very upsetting because you may end up having to wipe your whole computer clean, in doing so, getting rid of important documents and information.
