Abstract
Computer viruses pose an increasing risk to computer data integrity. They cause loss of valuable data and require an enormous effort in restoration/duplication of lost and damaged data. Each month many new viruses are reported. As the problem of viruses increases, we need to detect them and to eradicate them. This paper provides a brief introduction to computer viruses and points to the emergence of more intelligent and targeted viruses. Existing methods of virus detection are discussed. A method for the detection and removal of a macro virus called “SK virus” is described. This is achieved through the development of a scanner written in Visual Basic.
