Can you get a virus from a virus?

Answer:

In the general sense of the term "virus" (any malware that can be installed on a computer), there are some kinds of malware, usually called downloaders, which can actually download more malware to your computer, like fake antivirus software and programs that can steal information like passwords and even banking information.
