What cause the Michelangelo virus was to take effect on infected computers on March 8?
A program that is designed to cause damage to computer files.
No, biological viruses infect living cells and are very specific to the cell type and species they will infect. They can neither attack computer hardware or computer software (unless someday computers are built using living cells, which is very unlikely as their "processing speed" is very slow [milliseconds per operation] compared to the electronics now used [nanoseconds or less per operation] or anticipated future technologies: e.g. carbon nanotube semiconductors, optical processors which may have speeds in the picoseconds per operation range or allow high levels of parallelism).
What is one virus that destroys data on a hard drive?

It depends on what software it is. But the ones you cannot trust areon-line scanners, the only trusted online scanner I would say would be F-Secure. You can tell if it is a hacker by looking at the web page's domain. Say for a example: FREE ON-LINE COMPUTER SCANNER!!!!!!!!!! ABSOLUTELY 100% FREE!!!!!! Now I recommend you get Norton Anti-Virus 2009, you can buy it in a local Computer Software dealer. If you need any help, I can maybey help you out, but you see, I am a 11yrs old, and soon 12.

If virus will infect other virus?
nope, that really isn't possible as virus are acellular organisms and in order to reproduce themselves, they need a host cell. some of those virus contain genetic information, proteins inside them and no way to duplicate it. so what they do is invade a cell that can reproduce itself, and sneak the virus genetic information into the cell's DNA. once the DNA is replicated, the virus uses its proteins to cut the portions of its material genetic and it's done. the virus is replicated

There are mainly two types of email software:
Personal communication email software: Google Gmail, Yahoo Mail, Windows Live Mail, AOL Mail, Thunderbird, etc.
Professional email marketing software: Constant Contact, Comm100, etc.

Viruses can be categorized on the following bases:
What is antivirus software and how it combats computer crime?
An Anti-Virus software is an program installed in one`s computer to defend it from harmful threats off the internet. It can combat computer crime by deleting malicious files off of your computer and stop an infectious download before anything goes wrong and if it does go wrong the software will delete the infections at (most) times. Anti-Virus softwares do not block off ALL harmful threats but they do certainly help. They can stop fraud off the internet by showing you which searches are safe and which aren`t safe, (when using a search engine).
Which antivirus is suitable to install to avoid viruses from torrents?
Pretty much any antivirus will do. I use Avast, but AVG, Panda, and others should do fine.
I recommend against Norton/Symantec and McAfee, however, as my customers tend to have a LOT of problems with them. Which is ironic, because they are one of the few that cost money.
Just having anti-virus software will not work in later years. Virus scanners with updatability are more likely to prevent recent viruses from attacking your computer and ruining your fun.
