computer viruses

A computer virus is a type of malicious software (malware) designed to spread from one computer to another and interfere with normal operations. Just like biological viruses, computer viruses attach themselves to clean files or programs and replicate when those files are opened. Once active, a virus can slow down performance, corrupt data, steal personal information, or even render a system completely unusable. Viruses often spread through infected email attachments, downloads, or unsecured networks. Understanding how they work and how to prevent them is essential for protecting your digital devices.
