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.

If you connect a computer that has a virus to a computer that doesnt have a virus will the computer that doesnt have a virus get one?

Only if you transfer an infected file to the un-infected computer is it possible, or if you have an open connection where the infected computer may send (without permission) code, or files -like SQL injectors-. One other way is if you have a connection where you're connected to a server through the other computer that lets the infected computer 'ping' (another way of sending code to comfirm connection status).
