COMPUTER VIRUSES
Computer viruses have become a very serious issue in
the technology world. They can affect anyone that uses a
computer, no matter how careful you are. Computer viruses
are a form of identity theft, costing consumers millions
of dollars every year.
What is a computer virus?
Computer viruses are very similar to biological
viruses. Computer viruses are passed from computer to
computer, in the same manner biological viruses are
spread from human to human.
How does a virus get onto my computer?
A computer virus gets installed onto your computer.
How? A computer virus will piggyback another program,
that appears harmless. When you install the seemingly
harmless program, the computer virus is also installed on
your computer.
What happens once a computer virus is installed on my
computer?
Similar to biological virus, a computer virus will
spread. It will quickly take over your computer,
infecting other programs and/or documents. There are
different types of viruses, all doing different things.
However, the end result for all computer viruses is
damage.
