What are those computer viruses that really harm the CPU?

Asked By anonymous 7060 points N/A Posted on - 08/27/2011

I find it hard to notice the viruses that really harm my computer. My computer was recently reformatted because of the virus that I haven't noticed. The compilation of the unified list of viruses is made difficult because of naming.

Can someone let me know about the computer viruses?

What are those computer viruses that really harm the CPU?

Every time you go online and surf the net you are exposed to millions and millions of crawling viruses. So if you are a frequent online surfer, don’t go online if your computer doesn’t have an antivirus running.

A computer Virus is a kind of program that attaches itself to other executable files. It replicates every time it finds a clean executable file.

Its effects on the computer are noticeable like slowness, message popping up from nowhere, an image will just display, delete files, eat your hard drive’s free space, and so on.

It is really intended to do harm on all the data it finds. And there are viruses that already can affect even the hardware.

Trojan is like a horse that jumps anywhere. It can penetrate to your computer without being noticed. And also hides perfectly. There are Trojans that replicate and there are others that are not.

Examples of Trojans that do not replicate are those used in manipulated software, serials and generators. You thought that they are clean files.

Yes, there are some that are really clean when created. But most of them really are not. Sometimes, the manipulated software or the generator itself is the actual virus. Trojans are also used in creating manipulating tools.

A virus that eats hard drive space is called a Worm. They have many names. Most often, they hide and spread in the System Volume Information of every drive. It lives there and fattens itself.
