viruses can be destructive once it enters your computer system. You can easily noticeits effect such as slow processing-applications; presence of anonymous files, abnormal computer behavior, and the worse part will be the corruption of your files and the operating systeminstantly.These are just some of the effects of computer viruses. There are viruses, which can actuallysteal personal information on your computer without you noticing it. If there is no anti-virusinstalled on your workstation, it is very hard to prevent the replication of these programs (yes,viruses are also programs created by crazy people) and its effect on your computer.However, you can prevent file corruption and theft carried by viruses by means of assessing the protection of your computer, especially if it is connected to the Internet. Analyze and do thenecessary adjustments to your computer to avoid future problems.1. Version of operating system you are using. Are you using Windows-based operating system or Open Source Applications? If you are using Windows, then it is more prone to viruses comparedto other operating systems because most viruses target Windows computers because lots of people are using it.If this is the case, install an anti-virus program and update its system regularly to capture and prevent newer programs from entering the computer. Always update your operating system for security patches provided by the manufacturer to make it stronger and secure in fighting viruses.2. People using your computer. If you are not the only one using the computer, there are lots of possibilities that viruses may compromise your system. If possible, try to limit the number of people using your computer or never let others use it to lessen the possibility of virus intrusion.3. Websites you visit. Be careful in visiting virus prone websites such as porn websites, or other similar sites, which may be tempting but you do not know it will be the source of viruses you donot expect. Always think first before you do any act in visiting various websites.4. Email attachments. There are lots of emails we receive each day that we do not want. As a precaution, never try to open unknown emails, download its attachments, or visit their links evenif it is tempting. It might be some kind of a virus.These factors can be a great help in preventing computer viruses from disrupting the normaloperation of your computer. Always update your anti-virus program, security patches, andsoftware updates on your operating system to serve as armor in blocking unwanted programsfrom corrupting your files.

Absolutely not. Computer virii are a way of describing logic-deconstruction programs in layman's terms. They are entirely non-biological, and incapable of affecting the human system in any measurable fashion.

Usually not. A text file should is not able to transmit a virus, which is what a cookie almost always is. It needs to be an executable file. However your internet broweser may have flaws that would cause it to execute code in a cookie... and in that way it could transmit a virus.

Install the operating system disk.It cleans the files you saved since last install but during the install prompt will ask you good questions to keep things in order.What do to you got to lose anywayYou are trying to get back the system.

Start up the system in safe mode. It worked for me!!

There are three most common solutions which i practise. First one is to install operating system on second partition (bare sistem only with antivurs), (works with XP/2000) and clean your infected partition, after cleaning your virus on infected partition you can safley remove your second system (or leave it for other time :), second one is to install Linux on other partition and clean it safely from there (similar as the first solution), and third one is to unhook your hard drive and attach it to other uninfected computer as slave drive and disinfect it from there (most common and simplest solution).

Other OS's - I don't know

Sadly, the most effective way to mitigate computer worms and virus attacks it to not connect your computer to the Internet. If you do connect to the Internet, however, use the best anti-virus software you can find, and run it regularly. Further, do not open files from unknown sources, no matter how tempting they are.

It all depends on the site security settings. If you receive a virus it may not be specifically from the site itself per say, you will most likely receive it from the movie or whatever it is that you download from the site.

• It copied itself several times and hid the copies in several folders on the victim's hard drive.
• It added new files to the victim's registry keys.
• It replaced several different kinds of files with copies of itself.
• It sent itself through Internet Relay Chat clients as well as e-mail.
• It downloaded a file called WIN-BUGSFIX.EXE from the Internet and executed it. Rather than fix bugs, this program was a password-stealing application that e-mailed secret information to the hacker's e-mail address.

Yes. Sea-horses are real. There is actually a site with quite a bit of information on them. I will attach it so you may learn more about them if you wish.

Begoinias reproduce by their seeds and need energy to make more seeds.

5. Run a complete scan with free curing utility Dr.Web CureIt!

Install threat fire which will enhance your antivirus protection

Like a real world virus, computer viruses heavily rely on a "host" file in order to propagate. In the wild, if a computer virus cannot attach and inject itself into a host file, it will just roam around and eventually get destroyed by an antivirus program. Computer viruses cannot replicate without a host. Worms on the other hand are independent programs that can replicate freely without the need of a host like a virus. When it comes to lethality though, a virus is more destructive than a worm.

No. Computer viruses only affect computers. Biological viruses affect animals and humans.

u get virus' from the dumbest things

one thing is from downloads,

A virus has a specific string or line of code. When a virus enters a system, it is usually coded to infect a certain part of the computer, for example, the boot sector. When a virus reaches its destination, it injects the code. The virus itself isn't harmful, the code it injects is. Viruses don't replicate. Worms do that.

Yes, just make sure you do a full scan

Quarantine an infected system. Then use use antivirus software and antiadware software to do a general cleanup. If the system is highly infected and will later hold sensitive data, consider backing up the data, reformatting the hard drive, and reinstalling the OS and applications. In fact, Microsoft recommends this to be the safest way to deal with highly infected systems.

There are none. Viruses are never technically 'alive'. They are tiny microbes that enter the body and only start reacting to the environment once they have entered a protein molecule. They then use the molecule duplicate themselves and spread around the body. They have no life processes like other microbes, such as bacteria or fungi. They are the 'zombies' of the microscopic world.

I would suggest you run housecall it will scan your computer for viruses and tell you what they are if there are any. It is free and found it to work very well http://housecall.trendmicro.com/.

They do different things. The most recent "viruses" are really technically called "worms". These programs are usually loaded as attachments in emails, and then silently send out emails to everyone in your contact list. Other viruses attach part of their code to your device drivers, or commonly used programs, so that whenever you run that program it runs as well. Some will delete or rename important files, some will broadcast your information out to other computers, and some will attempt to perform operations that could damage your hard drive, etc.

trojan. this is a bad bad one i have ahd i before. basicly it hides it self in files ( like the trojan horse) and can delete, copy files or worse destroy your machine. however if u do a full scan it will pick them up and u can get rid of them. but this is a common one

Before you browse to the internet the best and safest way to do is to install anti-virus. There are many anti-virus in the market, you can have free trials or purchase you own copy. Be picky when you buy anti-virus software.
