Computer viruses are computer programs that silently replicate/reproduce themselves on a storage media
without the computer user realizing it and negatively affect the functionality of your computer. Viruses are
therefore malicious software programs (malware) that aim at damaging or interfering with regular
performance of other programs in the computer.
A virus is a computer program/code that can copy itself and infect a computer without permission or
knowledge of a user.
A computer program/code specifically designed to damage or cause irregular behavior in other
programs on a computer. It is designed to infect and affect the computer’s performance negatively.
A virus can only spread from one computer to another when its host is taken to the uninfected
computer or if the computers are connected to the same network. For example; a virus can be spread if
the author sent it over the internet or a network or if it is carried on a removable medium such as a floppy
diskette, CD, flash disk etc.
