 A computer virus is a computer program that can copy itself and infect a computer. The term "virus" is also commonly but erroneously used to refer to other types of malware, including but not limited to adware and spyware programs that do not have the reproductive ability. A true virus can spread from one computer to another (in some form of executable code) when its host is taken to the target computer; for instance because a user sent it over a network or the Internet, or carried it on a removable medium such as a floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB Drive. Viruses can increase their chances of spreading to other computers by infecting files on a network file system or a file system that is accessed by another computer.

In case your computer got infected, try the following:

Get an antivirus program (if you don't have one already)

  • Update your antivirus
  • Scan all your computer and delete, repair or quarantine the infected files.
  • Run the anti spyware removal programs spybot and Superantispyware
  • Then do an online virus scan
