Computer Virus

Computer viruses have been and are still a great threat to PC users everywhere. Computer viruses are very mysterious and they always seem to grab our attention. Almost every computer user in the world has heard of computer viruses. Many even have had the misfortune of experiencing a virus attack at some point in their usage. Virus attacks are becoming more prevalent than ever before. ...
Computer viruses are “a malicious code of computer programming”. What this means is that a computer virus is just another software – only written with not so very noble intentions. A computer virus is designed to install, propagate and cause damage to computer files and data without the knowledge and/or express permission of the user. A computer virus can only survive, attack and propagate in computer memory. Computer memory is usually the RAM (and all different variations of it) and disk storage (hard, floppy and everything in between). The “invasion” is usually the first step in any kind of virus attack. That is when the virus enters the computer system from an outside source.
All viruses enter the computer system through two main areas: the disk drives and the Network adaptor cards.
