Leaving websites open and entering those things that say you won 10,000 dollars claim your prize.

You can get a virus by running a suspicious program or booting off of suspicious media. If you get .exe/.scr or other executable files in your email, do not run them unless you asked them to send you the files (and even then, you should scan them before running them).

The diffence between human virus and computer viruses?

Human viruses take over human cellular functions. These human viruses have either RNA or DNA instruction sets surrounded by a protein coat. After these instructions enter the human cell, they co-opt cell functions to perform duties the virus wants done. Computer viruses take over computer functions. Computer viruses are programs created by humans and have a series of 1's and 0's to make up instruction sets. After these instructions enter the computer, they co-opt computer functions to perform duties the virus wants done. So, the biggest difference is that the human virus instruction set is encoded in biological molecules of RNA or DNA, and the computer virus instruction set is encoded in 1's and 0's that the computer sees as a program to run.

What software does not require a user to assist in its propogation?

Standalone software that does not require a user to assist in its propagation is often called a computer virus or just a virus.However, in order for a virus to propagate (transmit a copy of itself) to another computer, there must be something on the second computer that allows the virus to be accepted and to run/execute. It could be a person not aware of the virus that allows it to be accepted. It also could be software on the destination computer that, by design or as a result of faulty programming, intentionally or unintentionally allows the virus program to enter the computer and become active.
