Can Anyone Please Tell Me Something About "Computer Illness"�?

The computer virus is a fresh apprehension for computer users that has came out in the last decade. A number of people have established a method to make computer programs that mutely duplicate themselves on storage media without the computer user realizing it. These programs are adverted to as computer viruses as, in several ways, they operate much similar to a human virus.

When human viruses attack the body, they may or may not cause problem when they replicate themselves. They start to cause us problem while that duplication or something intrinsic to the virus begins to interfere with the body's usual functions. Similarly, whilst a computer virus begins to reproduce, it may or may not be intended to cause problem (several computer viruses are extremely unsafe as they are intended to harm data). If the virus is designed just to replicate and not to damage the data than most of the people do not bother it and in fact in some cases they do not take pain of removing the virus.

As with human viruses, even if the virus is not intended to injure data, we would favor not to have this sort of hidden duplication going on. Still if a virus program was written just to duplicate itself and nothing else (several people may write these programs just to observe how far they will travel and how many computers they will infect), it might finish up causing trouble by snooping with other programs.
