What is a Computer Virus?

04/16/2014 - Kirk Caskey

So, what is a computer virus anyway?

In its simplest form, a computer virus is just "software", or a program if you will. It contains what is called "code", or computer "language". Virus software is just like legitimate software, only with a destructive or malicious purpose.

An Ounce of Prevention.

The time has come for a more serious look at virus prevention. As the old saying goes; "An ounce of prevention, is worth a pound of cure". And so it is now with computer viruses.
