a computer virus is a program built by someone that they either attach to a link or send to you directly, and it is made to either crash your computer or infect your hardrive so you cannot do anything. the worst of them all is Spyware, a virus that attacks your computers defense systems, knocks it out, then infects all files that are able to take it off.
