A computer virus is a type of malicious software program ('malware') that, when executed, replicates by inserting copies of itself into other computer programs, data files, or the boot sector of the hard drive. The term 'virus' is also commonly, but erroneously, used to refer to other types of malware, including adware and spyware programs that do not have a reproductive ability.
