One of the biggest fears among new computer users is being infected by a computer virus or programs designed to destroy their personal data. Viruses are malicious software programs that have been designed by other computer users to cause destruction and havoc on a computer and spread themselves to other computers where they can repeat the process.
Once the virus is made, it is often distributed through shareware, pirated software, e-mail, P2P programs, or other programs where users share data.
