Unfortunetly, there are many diffrent types of viruses. Depending on the virus, it may attack your system and track data and sent information, make mass duplicates of itself, using tons of disk space. It could also hack into software on your computer, making it run slow, or crashing it. If you have a webcam on your computer, internally of externally, it could also send your video to a hacker.

Viruses can affect your computer in a number of ways. Usually, they display pop-up ads on your desktop, steal your information, or slow down your computer. Some of the more nasty ones can even crash your computer or delete your files.

Computer Viruses are small software programs that are designed to spread from one computer to another and to interfere with computer operation.

Some viruses are programmed specifically to damage the data on your computer by corrupting programs, deleting files, or even erasing your entire hard drive. Many viruses do nothing more than display a message or make sounds / verbal comments at a certain time or a programming event after replicating themselves to be picked up by other users one way or another. Other viruses make your computer's system behave erratically or crash frequently.
