Computer viruses are basically created when a programmer creates computer code. More specifically computer code which has the capability to replicate itself, hide, watch for a specific event to take place, and then deliver a destructive payload on a disk or in a computer program. Viruses are able to attach themselves to basically any type of file; it subsequently spreads as infected files and is then used by other computers. The effects of computer viruses vary, seeing as some viruses are extremely devastating, while others are relatively harmless. Computer viruses are able to cause the loss of data, as well as destroy program applications, software, and files.
