Virus

A computer virus is a type of program that, much like a regular virus, attaches itself to a
host with the intention of multiplying and spreading its infection further. Computer viruses can be
created by anyone with the proper skill set, from individuals to major organizations, and can infect
computers, smartphones, tablets, and even smart cars.
Many users install antivirus software that can detect and eliminate known viruses when the
computer attempts to download or run the executable file (which may be distributed as an email
attachment, or on USB flash drives, for example). Some antivirus software blocks known malicious
websites that attempt to install malware. Antivirus software does not change the underlying
capability of hosts to transmit viruses.
