What is a Virus?
A virus is a common type of malicious
code and is usually placed on a file. A
virus can damage or alter data and
programs on a computer without
permission or knowledge of the user. The
goal of a virus varies from gaining
unauthorized access to completely
disabling a computer. A virus is
typically delivered through email, but
also IRC channels and websites can place
viruses on a computer.
