Explanation of Computer Virus

WHAT IS A VIRUS?

1) Virus is a little program whose activity can destruct/destroy some files

and a computer system.If this program does not open, it's inactive and

could not or will not destroy anything.

WHAT IS A VIRUS-EMAIL?

2) The virus program is brought to you by an email as attachment. It has a server itself (virus server). File virus attachments cannot go to

another email, such as an email was sent by user (netter), member, moderator etc to be as their attachment. It must be brought to you by

email itself,that we called EMAIL Of VIRUS.

WHAT'S THEIR ADDRESS?

3) EMAIL OF VIRUS would be sent by any email address of any account, that

it found and cracked from some mailbox or address-book of other person anywhere. So that why the email of virus looks like it was sent by our

friend, our member,our moderator etc..... even it is able to email a

virus by our own email address.

HOW TO SEE IS THAT A VIRUS ATTACHMENT?

4) To identification of virus attachment:

a). it has a small size ( <150kb>

b). it has extension file name such as below:

*.scr

*.rhz

and some time it's compressed by *.zip file.

Also by the fake name HotMovie.MPEG__________scr.

Actually the file is virus file with extension .scr
