The term &#8220;virus&#8221; is  also commonly but  erroneously used to refer to other types of <a title=\"Malware\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Malware\">malware<\/a>,  <a title=\"Adware\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Adware\">adware<\/a>,  and <a title=\"Spyware\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Spyware\">spyware<\/a> programs that do not have the reproductive ability. A true virus can   only spread from one computer to another (in some form of executable <a title=\"Code\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Code\">code<\/a>)  when  its host is taken to the target computer; for instance because a  user  sent it over a network or the Internet, or carried it on a  removable  medium such as a <a title=\"Floppy disk\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Floppy_disk\">floppy disk<\/a>, <a title=\"Compact Disc\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Compact_Disc\">CD<\/a>,  <a title=\"DVD\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/DVD\">DVD<\/a>, or <a title=\"USB flash  drive\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/USB_flash_drive\">USB drive<\/a>. Viruses can increase their chances of spreading to  other computers by infecting files on a <a title=\"Network  file system\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Network_file_system\">network file system<\/a> or a file system that is accessed  by another computer.<\/p>\n<p>The term &#8220;computer virus&#8221; is sometimes used as a  catch-all phrase to include all types of <a title=\"Malware\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Malware\">malware<\/a>.   Malware includes computer viruses, worms, trojan horses, most  rootkits,  spyware, dishonest adware, crimeware, and other malicious and  unwanted  software), including true viruses. Viruses are sometimes  confused with <a title=\"Computer worm\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Computer_worm\">computer worms<\/a> and <a title=\"Trojan Horse (Computing)\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Trojan_Horse_%28Computing%29\">Trojan horses<\/a>,  which are  technically different. A worm can exploit security  vulnerabilities to  spread itself to other computers without needing to  be transferred as  part of a host, and a Trojan horse is a program that  appears harmless  but has a hidden agenda. Worms and Trojans, like  viruses, may cause  harm to either a computer system&#8217;s hosted data,  functional performance,  or networking throughput, when they are  executed. Some viruses and  other malware have symptoms noticeable to  the computer user, but many  are surreptitious.<\/p>\n<p>Most personal computers are now connected to  the Internet and to <a title=\"Local area  network\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Local_area_network\">local area networks<\/a>, facilitating the spread of malicious  code. Today&#8217;s viruses may also take advantage of network services such  as the <a title=\"World Wide Web\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/World_Wide_Web\">World Wide Web<\/a>, <a title=\"E-mail\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/E-mail\">e-mail<\/a>, <a title=\"Instant  Messaging\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Instant_Messaging\">Instant Messaging<\/a>, and <a title=\"File sharing\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/File_sharing\">file  sharing<\/a> systems to spread.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Services<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thanks for reading this article.
