There are dozens of types of computer animation or animation in which computers assist. There's what is called "Comic style" (which refers to graphic novels not humorous styling) where drawn animation is scanned into a computer and photoshoped (essentially) into a series of moving frames. There are simple kinds of animation using 2D animation programs and extremely complex 3D rendering, texturing, coloring and physics engine programs. Similar 3D rendering software is used in video game production. An excellent source of answers to the specifics of this question would be Youtube. Just search around a while and you'll find a real expert who does computer animation for a living!
There are many animation programs that are free to download, and it depends on whether the artist wants to utilize 2D or 3D animation. Some examples follow: Adobe AfterEffects Free Trial, Animator-9, AniS 1.0, and Beneton Movie GIF.
With 3-D animation you use programs like Maya, using the computer to create 3-D models that you can tweak, eventually creating a full animation. It could be compared to clay-model, but it's digital. Programs like Adobe After Effects are used for 2-D, where you draw multiple frames of an object. When shown in rapid succession, it appears like the object is moving. Similar to traditional pencil animation, but is within the computer.
It depends. If you are referring to animations on the computer, there are a wide variety of animation programs. Flash, Pivot, etc.
