Computer virus and Antivirus

COMPUTER VIRUS
To understand what a computer virus is, you need to understand what a computer program is, because that's exactly what a virus is: a computer program. A program (what we usually call "software") is a list of instructions for a computer to execute. Generally, people program computers to do helpful things (word processors, calculators, email programs, are all examples of helpful programs). But sometimes people write programs that do unhelpful things. A program that erases all the files on your hard drive, or a program that emails your personal files to all your friends--or even complete strangers. This kind of program is a virus. But why call it a virus? Well, like a virus, it can be very destructive. Also, a virus propagates and spreads itself, and most computer viruses also have a mechanism for spreading themselves . Unlike a biological virus, a computer virus is a small program written by human to alter the way a computer operates, without the permission or knowledge of the user Note: A computer virus behaves in a way similar to a biological virus, which spreads by inserting itself into living cells

FIRST Computer VIRUS

Elk Cloner is one of the first known microcomputer viruses.

15-year-old high school student named Rich Skrenta for Apple II systems.
