A virus implants itself usually on the hard drive. It will infect the files that it passes through making duplicates of itself. It may be programmed to send itself along with any emails you send, infecting and infiltrating another persons computer. It may also make a "back door" on your hard disk allowing the creator of the virus to access your computer remotely. Symantec has an entire list of viruses, and all of the things that go along with the viruses like how hard it is to remove.
You can usually check if a virus is running by looking at Task Managers 'Processes' and finding a program that is taking up a large percentage of your CPU's power except the idling process saying how much your CPU is idling, other programs that you see are running that take up a large percentage might be viruses or a program that you are running. For example, a program might be a 3D rendering one and your CPU isn't the best one for that, then you will see it taking up a large percentage of your CPU's power. I take extra precautions when downloading anything,i save it but do not open it,it saves to the desktop and i run a virus scan on the file before im happy enough to open it,
