Best Answer

Computer Viruses can range from being relatively harmless to being outright destructive. The harmless variety are little more than nuisances, perhaps placing a strange image or message on the screen. The worst offenders can wipe data from hard drives, shut down whole networks and steal personal information.

How computer virus transfer from one computer to another?

Typically, a computer virus is a program that can infect other programs by including a copy of the virus program in them. The virus is designed so that it can change its shape or purpose over time. Moreover, it multiplies and joins either the program or the file, "hiding" there, it wanders from one computer to another. A computer virus can "attribute" itself to other programs, as they say, "infect" them. This "infection" leads to the fact that computer viruses can independently spread and multiply. As a result, a large number of computers can simultaneously fail. For a computer to become infected with a virus, this virus must penetrate the computer. The virus can penetrate using portable devices that are used to transfer data between computers, through a local area network of an organization, through other computer networks (for example, via the Internet). However, in addition to the virus penetrating the computer, there is another condition that infects the computer. This condition is that the program containing the virus should be executed at least once on the computer.

Are computer viruses bad for your health?

Computer viruses and biological viruses are not the same thing. A computer virus can not infect a person. However, computers are everywhere, controlling lots of things. Irreplaceable data can be corrupted and destroyed by viruses. Also, mechanical systems which are controlled by vulnerable computers could be infected, and cause physical harm. And infected information systems can cause financial harm to companies which rely on them, and, indirectly, to employees and clients.
