Computer viruses
What is a computer virus?
A computer virus is a program that replicates itself. It does this by
copying itself onto another program, computer or document. Viruses can
be sent in attachments to an email file, be present on a disk or CD or
be hidden in websites, such as advertisements or popups (such as those
asking you to install software).
Whilst some viruses can be harmless or simply annoying, many can leak,
alter or destroy your data. In more extreme cases, they can even crash
your computer so you lose or cannot access your work.
