Viruses can easily be put inside a computer, and just because your computer dose not act slow, or anything you can still have a virus. That's why is important to have virus protection and use it to scan for viruses at least once a week. Viruses can be put into computers by going to websites that usually has a lot of pop-ups in it. People can hack in to social network websites like Myspace, or Facebook (mostly Facebook) and pose as your friends and they tell you to go to a website and have a weird looking link for you to click on it, don't do it, it's a virus link. And when your computer tells you that you have a virus, the virus tricks your computer into making it think it has one and you need to download a type of scan or a virus protection thing DON'T DO IT, it's a virus, just click on "No". That's how the viruses mostly get into people's computer, they trick you into thinking you already have the virus, but you don't until you download it.
It gets in several ways:
Through e-mail. That's the most frequent way, by opening an attachment in a message.
Through Skype and other messaging programs. Principle is the same - opening some file that your friend is sending you, though it's the malware program that uses Skype to send fake messages through your friends account.
Opening a suspiciously looking webpage that asks to install some kind of program (which can be computer worm)
Through torrent programs by downloading any kind of file which is, in fact, a virus or worm infected file.
Those are the most common ways to get to your computer.

No, a virtual computer is like any other computer, except you are running it on your own system, any computer can get a virus, as can a virtual machine.
Any antivirus program can do that.
Because you probably have a virus/spyware/malware on your machine.

hemmm the virus sven and variants would boot up suddenly BUT the machine can be turned on again. Nothing can physically prevent your computer from turning on, but a virus could corrupt your operating system and prevent your computer from booting up.

Every computer could have a virus but if you use your computer carefully it can be impossible for the virus to come to your computer.
A bug is a glitch in a program caused by a design flaw. Bugs can cause programs to crash or not work properly. A virus, on the other hand, is a program which was designed to cause problems on your computer. Viruses may steal your information and transmit it to another person, or they may be used to allow another person to take control of your computer.
Scanning virus only help to find the virus inside your computer disks, but do no other actions, virus is still in your computer. But Removing virus not only find it, but also remove the virus from your computer. Thus no such virus will remain in your computer after that.
