A virus attacks your computer system and hides itself in many ways. It can search your hard drive and find a place to hide. It can try one of certain information on your hard drive and hide your contain Anti-virus software. The virus can be monitored, when files are opened and closed and try to temporarily remove and replace itself with an infected file to protect through. (These bad guys are very clever.) It can reproduce itself, it can change, to avoid identification. It can create a backup copy so that if the original detected and removed, the backup is still infected your computer.

How does anti-virus software? Actually it is very ingenious. The> Anti-virus software scans all the files looking to match "signatures" by known viruses. Every anti-virus program has a list (directory) of the known virus markers ("signatures") and it tries to find out if your computer has one of these in any program on your hard drive. Since new viruses constantly appear again, these directories signatures are updated frequently with new ones. "Good antivirus programs see no identification of suspicious behaviorcould indicate a virus program on your computer, is available. If your anti-virus program finds a virus, it can attempt to repair the file file by removing the virus or quarantine it so can not spread the virus or other programs are infected, or it can delete the entire file .

If youDownload a free game, a free movie or a song when you open an e-mail attachment, you can open up your computer a virus invasion. Viruses are often attached to seemingly innocuous files.

How do you know if you have a virus on your computer? If your computer behaves flashy or perform in any manner other than normal, you may have a virus. If your computer is dead in the water and will not start, you may have a virus.
