1) Why we call it "VIRUS" ? Computer viruses earned their name because they act much like human viruses that sicken and even kill people each and every year. The only real difference is they don’t attach themselves to human cells. Instead, they attach themselves to files and lurk hidden on your hard drive just waiting for the right time to do their damage. 2) How virus is being transmitted ? In most cases of the transmission of viruses, you can be infected by people who don’t even know they have it. Computer viruses operating much the same way. When you share files with friends or family members that are infected, chances are you will be infected as well. In most cases, your friend won’t even know they are infected and helping to spread a potentially dangerous computer virus when they are sharing their infection with you and other people as well. 3) How does a computer virus attack? Once a virus has successfully attached to a program, file, or document, the virus will lie dormant until circumstances cause the computer or device to execute its code. In order for a virus to infect your computer, you have to run the infected program, which in turn causes the virus code to be executed. This means that a virus can remain dormant on your computer, without showing major sings or symptoms. However, once the virus infects your computer, the virus can infect other computers on the same network. Stealing passwords or data, logging keystrokes, corrupting files, spamming your email contacts, and even taking over your machine are just some of the devastating and irritating things a virus can do. Hope you enjoyed đŸ˜ƒđŸ˜ƒâ€...

we call it viruse because they show same behavior as those which attack human beings, example, when a computer start to fail as same as human vidy fails as a person fill serviour illness, also they kill computer strength by even hindering the protective programs to be installed like antviruses the same as the way real viruses kill humans' immunity and make sure white blood sells are not produced
