They are not active and do not make new viruses.
About 200 new viruses are released into networks a year.

The viruses are in your data on the hard drives. The new processor will help speed up the machine but will not remove the viruses.
Its a pretty much impossible question to answer as new viruses are created all the time and sometimes old viruses resurface or a modified by a new malicious coder. What you should be aware of is that there are always viruses that are "in the wild" and that is why protection has to be constantly updated, to deal with the new and changing threats.
It is 6,000 new computer viruses are released every month
A virus kills its host cell primarily during the lytic cycle. In this process, the virus hijacks the host's cellular machinery to replicate its genetic material and produce new viral particles. Eventually, the accumulation of these new viruses leads to the lysis, or bursting, of the host cell, releasing the newly formed viruses to infect other cells.
''Viruses do not have their own metabolism, and require a host cell to make new products.''
New viruses are released after the lytic cycle. ~Gradpoint/Novanet
Yes, viruses hijack the host cell's machinery to replicate themselves, eventually causing the cell to burst and release new viruses. This process, known as lysis, results in the death of the host cell.
The last step in the lytic cycle is that new viruses begin to be made
There are new viruses everyday, 10s of thousands of new viruses. Some virus will be detected and some will not, it is best to scan and clean your computer for viruses. I recommend doing this every week or so.
