VI. WHAT HARM CAN A VIRUS DO TO YOUR COMPUTER?
Writers of malicious software like computer viruses have their reasons for
doing such –a deliberate effort to attack your PC. The intention of the writer
determines the harm the virus can provoke you when it inhabits your system.
The following are the harms a computer virus can do to your computer
system:
• Damage and corrupt files
One major function of a commuter virus is to damage the file on the host
computer. A computer virus thus can corrupt any file available on the hard
drive. Unfortunately, any file corrupted by a computer virus cannot be
recovered as it has been rendered useless. The file can be any type, including
documents, audio files, video files, and applications.
• Slow down the performance of your computer
A computer virus carries out its operation in the background. However, this
operation affects the performance of your operating system, windows
especially. This is due to the background operation of the virus slows down
the computer speed. As such, it makes your system perform poorly, and
programs take a longer time to respond.
• Missing files on the computer hard disk
Aside from the fact that a computer virus can corrupt your files, the presence
of such a malicious code on your computer system can also result in the
incessant disappearance of files. The virus can either send the file to the
writer or delete the files permanently from your system.
• Misbehaviour of computer programs and applications
For this reason some applications or even the computer can start displaying
irrelevant messages when attacked by a virus. This has been the method of
high-profile hackers.
Likewise, you may realise some programs are running by themselves without
a command from the user. This is another way to identify that your commuter
is under a virus attack. At times, the virus may replace all available files on
your system without your permission.
Viruses are purpose written in various languages to cause infect Windows and
Linux operating systems. We come across another myth about viruses on mac
systems. Simply:
Can Mac computers get viruses?
Yes. Just like other computer systems, viruses can infect Mac computers too.
Some of the examples include FakeFileOpener, ThiefQuest, BirdMiner. In the
past, we have shared computer virus facts and ridiculous myths article.
• Steal information
Cybercriminals program computer viruses to carry out cybercrimes. Viruses
created by such people are capable of stealing your data and sending it over
to the creator. Information like your name, credit card details, and sensitive
information kept on your computer can be the target of a virus. This is why
having antivirus software is important on every business computer.
