What else can I help you with?
Can you get a virus on a CD?
I think you mean DVD. There is no way to load a virus onto a CD. The virus must be safely downloaded, perhaps in a zip. file and then burned onto the DVD. The victim must then install the program.
Can viruses be from a DVD-R to a computer?
If a virus was burned to the DVD, then yes, this can infect a computer.
If you download a potentially infected file such as a game from a P2P program directly onto a CD or DVD will it harm your computer?
Yes. Anytime you download a file that has a virus, you may cause harm to your computer.

Well a true virus copies itself to other files and if you have a CD in your PC, if the virus is good enough it could copy its self to their as well as other places
Does a movie file have to be a specific file type in order to be burned on a blank DVD?
Yes and no. If you are writing it as data you can use any format you'd like. I suspect that you would like your disk to play in a DVD player, however, so this is not the case.
Do your DVD discs need formatting before you use them?
No. Formatting a disc creates a file structure that data will be written upon. However it is not necessary to format a CD or DVD, the file structure is burned onto it at the same time as the data is written.
How a computer virus enters a computer?
from a website (use anti virus and anti spyware) from an email (let the anti virus scan your emails) from a pen drive/usb drive (scan with anti virus) from an infected cd/dvd (use threat fire) from the network (use a firewall)
Can simply playing a DVD damage a computer through virus transmittal?
If the DVD contains a virus, and your computer has its autorun feature turned on, then yes, it is conceivable that your computer could get a virus by just putting the DVD in the DVD drive. Its very unlikely in the case of a commercial DVD, but if it is a burned DVD, I would be careful and make sure you have an up to date antivirus program installed and running properly. There has been instances where attempts by a movie studio to copy protect their product inadvertently resulted in malicious software being installed. Google for Sony Rootkit for more information on that.
