NOTE
COMPUTER VIRUS
Computer virus is a program intentionally written by some software developer to cause damage to the computer, programs and files in which it found itself. The computer virus may be designed to display unwanted messages.
The computer virus is a program that has the ability to replicates itself by changing other programs to include a copy of itself. A virus causes the infected computer system to function in ways not originally planned. The computer virus cannot be seen with your natural eyes yet the effects can be notified on an infected system.
TYPES OF COMPUTER VIRUS
There are basically three ways in which a virus will infect your microcomputer.
A boot sector virus infects hard drives and flash disks by making itself available on the boot sector of the disk. Booting up from an infected flash disk can cause damage to the hard drive.
They spread the infection by attacking the code to executable files (EXE.COM) in this way; the virus program will be executable before the host program is executed.
A document virus can affect the document by moving from disk partition table to a different sector and replace it with its own code, therefore infecting document as they are accessed.
