A Report on Hazards of Computer Viruses

Abstract

Computer viruses are one of the major risks that an individual and a community face to the safe living of a household, enterprise, and government. These malicious software programs are developed to work like viruses: they reproduce themselves and spread, thus damaging the system, data loss and the loss of money. This research paper focuses on the various types of dangers that computer viruses pose, such as data corruption, theft of personal information, system disruption, and reputational damage. The hazards of computer viruses are the main thing that people and organizations need to be aware of in order to protect themselves and their systems from these hazards. Furthermore, computer viruses can also steal sensitive information, such as passwords, credit card numbers, and personal documents. This theft of personal information can result in financial loss and identity theft. Additionally, viruses can cause system damage, leading to system crashes or malfunctions. This can disrupt normal operations and lead to costly repairs or replacements.
