Virus

In computing, a Virus is a type of malicious software (malware) that attaches itself to legitimate programs or files. When executed, it can replicate itself and spread to other programs or systems, often causing harm such as corrupting data, consuming system resources, or compromising security. Viruses can be transmitted through email attachments, downloads, or removable media. Protecting against viruses involves using antivirus software, keeping systems updated, and practicing safe computing habits to prevent infection.
