It can really effect your computer. I got a worm virus on my Dell and it wiped my Windows Vista out and my computer won't start up. It attacks the hard drive. Every time you start your PC a "Seek Failure Diskette 0" pops up. So get rid of them if you get a warning for one.
It's called - a Virus.
will i did not scan my PC before i backed up my computer then after it finish backing up i scanned my PC. Norton internet security 2011 found Trojan virus so it deleted. Then next day i scanned my back up drive it found the same virus that infected my PC so that one way Trojan can spread.
A virus is a program that is designed to spread from file to file on a single PC, it does not intentionally try to move to another PC, and it must replicate, and execute itself to be defined as a virus. A worm is designed to copy itself (intentionally move) from PC to PC, via networks, internet etc. A worm doesnt need a host file to move from system to system, whereas a virus does. So worms spread more rapidly then viruses. The word 'Virus' has become a common term a lot of people use to refer to worms and trojans too. Which is not exactly correct.

A virus can spread by person to person. such as by coughing or sneezing on somebody.
No, viruses and worms are different types of malware. Viruses require a host file to attach to and replicate, while worms are standalone programs that can spread independently. Both can cause damage to systems and data.

Strictly speaking, a virus adds its code to other executables to infect them (and thus spread), such that the virus code runs when the infected program(s) are run. Often, the term "virus" is used in a less formal context to mean any kind of malware, including viruses themselves as well as worms, trojans, etc.
