you get viruses in your computer by multiple ways, if your computer is connected to internet then you may get viruses from email, IM and also from some websites!

Also if you are into warez and download lots of pirated stuff then there is a high risk of getting infected from viruses!

also virus can come from CD's and USB's memory sticks! (which is mostly in the form of autorun)!

Its important that you keep your softwares updated and use a good antivirus software!

also it's important that if you have an antivirus installed and if it detects a virus then it is highly recommended that you should not delete the infected file instead you should just click quarantine!

In the past i always delete all the infected files but it makes my PC unstable.. one day i read an article about deleting a virus VS Quarantining a virus! Quarentine is way better and safer than deleting a virus!
