SOURCES OF COMPUTER VIRUSES

Below are the two most common ways a computer can contract these infections listed in the order we believe are most commonly done.

1 The Internet and the World Wide Web: The internet is the largest source of viruses as virus creators generally tend to spread their creations faster using the internet.
