A bug is a glitch in a program caused by a design flaw. Bugs can cause programs to crash or not work properly. A virus, on the other hand, is a program which was designed to cause problems on your computer. Viruses may steal your information and transmit it to another person, or they may be used to allow another person to take control of your computer.
