Viruses are programs that are installed without the consent of users, they cause great damage to your computers and your information. Its name is precisely due to the fact that these programs are capable of replicating themselves, multiplying themselves virally and infecting an infinite number of computers, by entering camouflaged in another larger file, using the same system as a real virus.

The damage caused by these small programs can be very varied, from a small annoyance, a funny message, to causing the loss of a large amount of data, locking the computer, stealing information confidential or even cause irreparable damage to systems. It has been the case of viruses that have managed to collapse entire networks causing the loss of all their data.
