Computer viruses don't 'form,' they are created. They are small computer programs written by individuals. A computer guru creates them.
Why do computers give you viruses?
A computer virus is a harmful computer program that someone has written either as a practical joke or for criminal purposes. A computer virus can be transmitted from one computer to another computer, but it cannot infect a person. The viruses that infect people are something else entirely. So a computer cannot give you viruses. Not unless you are a cyborg.

What operating system to most computer viruses infect?
The operating system that most if not all viruses are made for is Windows. Since Windows was the first operating system built and most people own a Windows operating computer, then won't you think most viruses will target and infect Windows computers? Mac and Unix computers generally won't acquire viruses since not much of them are written for their platforms.
Why is it called a computer virus?
The naming of the computer virus has sort of the same roots as the computer bug. When the first viruses were discovered, people named it based on the main aspects of the object. The viruses focused on dumb cloning/reproducing, exactly like organic viruses, and there you go, the computer virus is born.
Why do you use antivirus software?
Computer viruses are self-executing, replicating programs written specifically to change the way a machine works, without the knowledge (or permission) of the operator/owner. They can seriously damage the machine by deleting important file and corrupting programs. So the best way to avoid viruses is to use reliable Antivirus Software.
Can a virus affect the ROM of a computer?
It shouldn't affect the ROM - ROM stands for Read Only Memory. The data in the ROM was written at the manufacturing stage of the computer, and viruses shouldn't be able to affect it.
