Computer virus or of various types and signatures. In general whenever your computer behaves abnormally than it is said that your computer has virus. Operating System: Windows can be considered as a Synonym for OS and in particular Windows OS is stored in ur C drive. In C drive u have program files; which have all ur OS stuff. Virus: Any download from net or any attachment in ur mail or if u have copied any file from ur memory stick can have a auto run program which needs a trigger. Trigger can be anything; it can be when u clicked the .exe file or u opened the attachment. the address mentioned in that virus will be something like \\C:Program files\win 32 this is sufficient to ruin ur OS; once win 32 is infected ur OS will do rock and roll I hope above information was relevant. thanks sahil
