What is a Computer Virus?
A computer virus is a program that has the ability to replicate, or make copies of itself, and spread to other files. Viruses can attach themselves to many types of files and programs, and spread as files that are copied and sent from one computer to another. Just like biological viruses, computer viruses spread quickly and can be difficult to eradicate. Viruses are never accidents, or caused by computer glitches. All viruses are created deliberately.
