Best Answer

Containing a computer virus is simple - disconnect your computer from your network. To recover from one, however, is a bit more complicated. First, you must eliminate the virus. This can be done with a free anti-virus program like AVG. Then, depending on how much damage the virus has done, you may want to save your files to a backup drive and re-format your hard drive.

What is the danger of receiving a computer virus?

If you receive a virus and you aren't protected, your computer is basically in trouble. A virus causes your computer to do things you don't want it do do (for example, an e-bomb will delete your Sys32 file) and will cause major problems. If something like that happens, you will either need to load your recovery partition, or in some cases, buy an entire new computer.
