Viruses affect your computer's CPU by consuming both CPU time and resources. A virus is just like any other program: it needs dedication from the CPU to properly execute. This can cause the CPU to slow down significantly if your computer is infested with viruses, since the computer cannot respond to each and every process in a timely manner. There is also such thing as a "CPU virus". These viruses infect and damage the actual hardware of a computer. Since it is damaging the hardware of a computer rather than the software, the restoration afterwards can be pricey and there can be little to do to stop the virus from destroying your computer.
