Problem

Solutions: Software or Computer Virus (or Trojan Horse program): Generally, a software virus is any program written expressly for the purpose of reproducing itself after or during the process of committing some act of malice on the infected system. Some virus programs immediately erase all files on a hard disk while others will lay dormant sometimes for months before causing any damage. There are, of course, programs available for detecting the presence of viral software or preventing them from infecting a system. These anti-viral programs require continual RAM residency and can sometimes erroneously alert their owner to questionable but benign behavior of non-viral software.
