A computer virus is a malicious program designed to spread from one device to another, often without user knowledge. Once inside a system, it can corrupt files, slow down performance, steal data, disable security settings, or crash the entire system. Viruses often enter through infected emails, downloads, or USB drives, and they can replicate rapidly, causing widespread damage if not detected in time. Using updated antivirus software and avoiding suspicious links can help prevent infections.
