Viruses and spyware, under most circumstances, try to make money off you. They are programs that try to break into and destroy your computer.
Some viruses are designed to send out spam from your computer and millions of other infected computers, making it harder for the maker to be traced.
Viruses can sometimes get on to your computer by getting you to download (or even pay for) a fake antivirus program.
Other viruses steal passwords you have stored or typed into your computer from sites you have signed up to.
Other viruses give the hacker a back door into your system, even after you realise they've been there (Trojans).
A virus scan looks around for malicious code that it knows is a virus (antivirus software gets definition updates several times a week). Some antivirus programs can even use heuristics (they try to work out if something is a virus, even if it is not classed as one in the definition update).
