a virus could also be a worm, trojan, etc.
A computer virus is simply a collection of self-propagating code--though by design it has to act in an underhanded way in order to infect new hosts, it is not inherently bad. There has been some research into antiviral and antispam viruses. The problem is that a virus is still a chunk of code operating without permission on a person's computer.
Jon von Neumann designed the first computer virus in 1949. His design was based on his theories about a self-reproducing computer program.
The computer it self normally has a anti-virus software that checks the mails including your attachments. If the attachment has a virus the computer will notify you. If not you'll be able to see the attachments.
If you can't turn on the computer and it won't even go to the "POST", there is something more serious wrong. Even with a virus, the computer should hit the Power On Self Test.
It self-downloads. (Edit: If you surf the web looking for porn sites, you're bound to end up with a virus pretty quickly!)
A computer virus is a self-duplicating, malicious piece of software which damages data on one's computer. Virtually all computer viruses exclusively attack Microsoft Windows.
In many cases, it self-downloads, but in others, you install software and when you run it, it infects your computer, so scan all emails and downloads.
Computer viruses can mimic the self replicating abilities of a virus. Hence they were nicknamed this.
Yes, they are extremely different a Hacker is a person which depicted by the media is a person that breaks into computer systems and a Virus is a type of malware that replicates it self and spreads to other computer systems. A Virus behaves pretty much like it does in Biology.
ares the program its self is not a maleware of virus however the files you can download with it can be infected with maleware Save
The first computer virus, known as the Creeper virus, was an experimental self-replicating program written by Bob Thomas at BBN in 1971. Creeper infected DEC PDP-10 computers running the TENEX operating system. Creeper gained access via the ARPANET
