List of Computer Viruses, Spreading Level and Damage Rate

Hello Naija Portalites! It's been a long time and
we've been AWAY...not IDLE but BUSY working to
make you happy!

What is a Computer Virus?
According to Webopedia , A computer virus is a
program or piece of code that is loaded onto your
computer without your knowledge and runs against
your wishes. Viruses can also replicate themselves.
All computer viruses are man-made. A simple virus
that can make a copy of itself over and over again
is relatively easy to produce.

Even such a simple virus is dangerous because it will quickly use all available memory and bring the system to a halt.

An even more dangerous type of virus is one capable
of transmitting itself across networks and
bypassing security systems.

Recommended Anti-virus?
I recommend you'd make use of Bitdefender
Antivirus software ; it would help in scanning your
computer system or device properly for any of the
above viruses, eradicate them, and also keep your
system protected against them.
