Understanding Computer Viruses and How CMIT Solutions Protects Your Business
Did you know that computer viruses can spread like wildfire, causing data loss, system crashes, and data breaches? A computer virus is a type of malicious software, often referred to as malware, that spreads between computers and wreaks havoc on data and systems. Designed by cybercriminals, these viruses can cause significant operational issues and compromise sensitive data. For businesses in today’s digital landscape, understanding how viruses work—and having a robust computer virus protection strategy—is essential.
What Exactly is a Computer Virus?
A computer virus is specifically designed to spread from one system to another, often via infected files, email attachments, or malicious websites. Once inside a system, viruses can replicate and attach themselves to legitimate programs or files, with the primary goal of disrupting normal operations, corrupting data, or providing unauthorized access to sensitive information.
Some viruses are relatively harmless, causing minor annoyances, while others can bring entire networks to a standstill, costing businesses time and money. A key aspect of viruses is their rapid spread: once a single computer is infected, it can quickly impact others on the network, leading to widespread data corruption, system failures, and potential data breaches.
