No need to rush out and buy a box of tissues for your computer when it gets a virus. A computer virus is simply a tiny computer program designed to perform mischief. The program alters the way your computer operates without your permission (or knowledge). Once your computer becomes “infected,” the virus can delete, modify or damage your files. A computer virus is a special little program, though, in that it can copy itself over and over again to other computers that may be connected to yours, thereby infecting your entire network. A virus can be transferred to another computer over a network, via the internet or email, or carried to a new host on a removable medium such as a USB Drive or DVD.
