A computer virus is a computer program that can replicate itself and spread from one computer to another. There are different types of viruses that harm your files differently. Generally when it comes to files viruses may alter the access attributes of a file, when a particular file is loaded into the memory a virus can make the file to enter a deadlock with a particular resource and resulting in freezing(or a hang), they may even delete the file and many more process which is fatal. With folders also similar things happen. Overall viruses change the way how the stuff should and is designed to operate.
