Computer Virus notice

A virus is a program written with malicious intent for the sole purpose of creating havoc in a computer system. It attaches itself to executable files or boot sectors, so it can replicate and spread. Some viruses may only cause the system to beep or display messages or images on the screen. Other viruses are highly destructive and corrupt or erase the contents of files or disks. To be safe, never assume any virus is harmless.

Viruses are identified by how they infect the computer.

Program Viruses infect executable program files such as.COM,

.EXE, .OVL, .DRV, .SYS, and .BIN.

Macro Viruses infect the data files of specific programs. These viruses are written in the macro languages certain applications use to enhance their functionality. These viruses do not infect other programs or the boot sector.

Boot Viruses attach themselves to a Boot Record, Master Boot, FAT, or Partition Table.
