WHAT ARE COMPUTER VIRUSES
My aim of writing blogs is to help computer users cultivate a life of good use of computers and fertilizing our society with the spirit of prevention that will lead to easy correction of faults (easy maintenance).
On that note, I write this all-time bothering issue when it comes to computing. It is the existence of viruses in the computer world.
I will not base this blog on virus and its types. Instead, I will write on viruses and their modes of operation.
A computer virus is any program or code intended to harm your computing or your ability to compute ot to steal your information.
Effects of computer virus
1.They can slow down your computer's speed (process time)
2. Delete files or uninstall your applications.
3. Modify/corrupt your files or applications.
4. Replicate unnecessary files on your hardisk and occupy your free storage space or getting your hardisk full.
5. Steal your information and deliver them to it's engineer who will use it against you.
