Computer Virus

What is meant by the term "computer virus"? Well,to answer
the question, we will first talk about viruses.
A virus is an organism that can harm the body. Each year,
for example, many people are infected with the influenza,
or flu virus. The virus can spread to people all over the world.
A computer virus is a program that "infects" computer files.
Viruses often have damaging side effects, sometimes
purposely, sometimes not. Like the flu virus, a computer virus
can spread all over the world.
Computer experts are finding ways to make sure computer
discs do not contain viruses. They also are finding ways to
stop viruses from spreading. People who work with computers
are being very careful about the discs they use or copy. Many
are seeking a law that will severly punish people who create
computer viruses.
