Computer Viruses are everyone's great fear. It's especially horrible for someone who works from their home computer to get a virus. When you get a virus, which is a small software program, your computer will not operate properly. Maybe not right away, it could slowly corrupt or even delete data that is on your computer. Your e-mail program may spread this nasty virus to others on your e-mail list. Some viruses will actual e-mail to everyone on your list, thus spreading it without your knowledge. Viruses can even delete all the data on your hard drive.
To get a computer virus there are several ways, it could come in an e-mail message, or even over whatever instant messenger service you are using. This said don't ever open up an e-mail that has an attachment unless you know who the message is from. That attachment is very likely a computer virus just waiting to get a hold of your computer and trash it. A virus may come as images, card, or even audio or video files. You know those downloads you can get from the internet, while they very likely could be a virus. Or if your someone who downloads pirated software you might want to watch out those people who have those files up there, you don't know, they could be sending you a virus.

Your computer could be sluggish and running slower.
Your computer may lock up, or just stop responding frequently.
If your computer restarts every few minutes after crashing.
If your computer just restarts on it's own without crashing.

Programs disappear without you removing them.
If you think your computer might be infected get the latest anti-virus software. The problems listed above may occur for other reasons, such as hardware problems. You need to get an anti-virus software to find out if these problems are caused by viruses or other problems.
