For making a Digital Bangladesh, every citizen has to expert user of computer and our authority has to computerize all sections of this country. But the major threat for using a computer is “virus”.

Today I have prepared Four special points for illustrate a virus. a) What is a Virus? b) What Viruses don’t do? c) How does Virus spread? and, d) How to prevent a Virus Invasion?
a) What is a Virus: Computer viruses are programs written by "mean" people. These virus programs are placed into a commonly used program so that program will run the attached virus program as it boots, therefore, it is said that the virus "infects" the executable file or program. Executable files include Macintosh "system files" [such as system extensions, INITs and control panels] and application programs [such as word processing programs and spreadsheet programs.] Viruses work the same ways in Windows or DOS machines by infecting zip or exe files.
A virus is inactive until you execute an infected

    Malicious software, referred to as malware, can contain a variety of threats, from data loss to system failures. There are several types of worms, viruses, Trojan horses and spyware, which can be delivered in a variety of ways. Computer viruses are a type of software or executable file that attaches itself to other programs to be uses. Viruses can cause system failures, rewrite hard drives, or destroy files and programs. Worms are similar to viruses, but are independent programs, rather that attaching to others. Viruses have a tendency to spread more rapidly over networks and through e-mail. Trojan horses are based off their namesake, in which they appear to benign types of programs, but when executed can introduce malware into your system. Spyware is programing that can track computer use. Forms of…

The virus program then infects the whole computer system. The virus attaches itself to other programs in the computer and copies itself. Some computer viruses are terrible; they erase files or lock up systems. Viruses must not go untreated.…

    A computer virus attaches itself to a program or file enabling it to spread from one computer to another, leaving infections as it travels. Like a human virus, a computer virus can range in severity: some may cause only mildly annoying effects while others can damage your hardware, software or files. Almost all viruses are attached to an executable file, which means the virus may exist on your computer but it actually cannot infect your computer unless you run or open the malicious program. It is important to note that a virus cannot be spread without a human action, (such as running an infected program) to keep it going.…

    Viruses are miniscule parasites that spread infection through all species of living things, plants and animals. Parasites are completely dependent on other living organisms (Miller & Levine, 2008). A virus is made up of a DNA or an RNA molecule, a protein outer coating, known as a capsid, that gives the virus protection and the ability to transfer it’s genetic material into cells (Lourerio, 2006). Viruses are insanely small, about a thousand times smaller than bacteria (Apex Learning, 2007). They spread by reproducing, but in a very unique way. The capsid has pointy contraptions that allow the virus to attack a host cell. A host cell can be any cell, plant or animal. After the virus has attached to the cell, it releases its DNA or RNA into the host cell (Apex Learning, 2007). The virus’s genetic material forces the host cell…

The viruses that are prevalent today, may not be tomorrow, only to be replaced by something more threatening. The exploration of the interworking’s of viruses, their genomic makeup, spreading techniques, communicative and hiding capabilities, are essential areas of research that must be explored in order to prevent new global pandemics from occurring, while containing the current global…
