The effects of intentionally spreading (or "setting") computer viruses include financial losses associated with the cost of removing the virus(es) from infected computers, time lost actually removing the virus(es), and once the perpetrator has been identified, a warrant being issued for the arrest of the person who initiated the computer virus(es). Intentionally spreading computer viruses is a criminal act, punishable by imprisonment, fine, or both, usually depending on where the perpetrator lives and/or where the criminal act was done. A computer virus is designed to maliciously erase data on your hard drive or simply take over the "host" computer, rendering the computer either unusable or extremely difficult to use.

It is generally felt, by many people around the world, that those who intentionally spread Computer Viruses should be summarily imprisoned for at least ten years, with no chance of parole, and fined at least $20,000 (U.S.). Some people feel that those who intentionally spread Computer Viruses should be publicly executed.
