Computer Viruses and Worms
Chapter
Abstract
Computer viruses are programs that copy themselves onto other programs. When the host program is run, the virus also runs, and as a consequence of its execution it makes further copies of itself. Most viruses also have other effects, such as erasing or damaging files, displaying rude words or pictures, or even damaging the computer or monitor itself.
