Question

when people say their computer caught a virus, they not mean their computer has a cough and fever. a computer virus is a program that makes a computer do things it should not do. for example, a computer virus can make your computer erase documents you have saved on your hard drive. some computer viruses send out e - mail without your knowledge.
one way to catch a virus is to open e - mail that has a document attached to it. these e - mail messages are usually sent to many people at one time, and they often will not have your name in the e - mail message. for example, a message with a virus attached might say, \open this e - mail and see what im doing!\ you might get excited to see what the person sent, but do not open that attachment too soon or you might catch a virus. it is good practice to use an antivirus software program. you can buy this program at a computer store or you may purchase it online. the software scans each e - mail and tells you if it might have a virus. then you know not to open the attachment. if your antivirus program alerts you to a virus, delete the e - mail message. avoiding viruses keeps your computer healthy and keeps you connected.
