What is a virus?
What is a virus is a very important question! A virus is a
small program that gets into your computer undetected in order to cause havoc.
This small software program has either been developed because the author enjoys
causing disasters for other people or sometimes for monetary gains. Sometimes a
virus is packaged in a file that is called a trojan virus. It is disguised as
something else, and once it has gained access to your computer it then releases
its intent. Also see What’s
the difference between a virus, spyware, Malware, and adware?
