How it Works

Computer viruses generally can damage computers and software can not directly damage the computer hardware to load the program in a way that forced over-process to a specific device such as VGA, Memory and even processors (especially in operating systems, such as the family of Windows-based operating systems (Windows 95, Windows 98/98SE, Windows NT, Windows NT Server, Windows 2000, Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2003, Windows 2003 Server, Windows XP Home Edition, Windows XP Professional, Windows XP Service Pack 1, Windows XP Service Pack 2, Windows Vista Service Pack 1) and even GNU / Linux. The negative effects of computer viruses is primarily to reproduce itself, which makes the computer resources (such as real-time CPU, memory usage) to be reduced significantly. Nearly 95% Virus is a computer virus based on the Windows operating system. The remainder, 2% against the Linux / GNU with the kernel version below 1.4 (and Unix, as the source of Linux, of course), 1% attacking Macs, especially Mac OS 9, Mac OS X (Tiger, Leopard). 2% more attack other operating systems such as FreeBSD, OS / 2 IBM, and Sun Operating System. Viruses are malignant will damage the hardware and the like.
