Many people are afraid of tinkering with their computers because of the fear that they might inadvertently introduce a computer virus into the computer system.
Computer viruses have become the technological bogeyman that scares computer users all over the world. We have all heard of how dangerous computer viruses are and how it can damage your data. Of course, aided by the bloated images Hollywood movies paint with regards to computer viruses, a big majority now have these insane (but mostly unfounded) fears about it. It is true that computer anyone who has lost vital information in their computers because of a computer virus will know how big a damage it can cause. But computer viruses are not these insidiously little pieces of code that could wreak havoc in the world. If you know what to do when you get a virus in your computer then you can definitely limit, if not totally stop, the damage it can cause.
But what is a computer virus? Well, it is a software with a small imprint that would usually attach itself on to a legitimate program or software. Every tom this program is executed the virus is also executed and it tries to reproduce itself by attaching to other programs or it immediately starts affecting the computer.
