ไวรัสคอมพิวเตอร์ คืออะไร

What is a computer virus?

A computer virus (also popularly called a virus) is a subcategory malware. A virus is a malicious program (or piece of computer code) that infects computers and then attempts to multiply and spread itself across a network. A virus is often hidden in a file, and is activated by users opening or activating the infected file. Once activated, a virus can do great damage to the software and files on a computer. Sometimes people can no longer access their computer after being infected with a virus.

How does a computer virus attack?

As soon as a virus has successfully attached itself to a document, program or file, nothing happens at first. People can have an infected file on their computer for a long time without anything happening. Only when the file in question is opened or activated, does the virus code become active. Thus, a virus must be activated by the user before any actual infection occurs (unlike a computer worm). But once the virus becomes active, it can infect other computers on the same network. Many computer viruses can perform all sorts of nasty actions on a computer.

  • Stealing passwords from files.
  • Keystrokes (reading what you type).
  • Take over a computer completely.
  • Corrupt files.
  • Harass someone’s email contacts with spam emails (often to further address the virus).
