Virus Removal
A virus is a malicious, parasitic program that replicates itself by being copied or initiating its copying to another program, computer boot sector or document, thus continuing to spread through your computer. Viruses are transmitted as attachments to an e-mail or in a downloaded file, or be present on a diskette or CD. Some viruses lie dormant until something triggers the code to be executed by the computer, while others instantly wreak havoc as soon as their code is executed. Viruses are harmful because they take control of your computer and start erasing data forcing you to have to reformat your hard disk.
