A computer virus is any sort of malware, that when executed, copies its source code and then injects itself into other applications. This process then repeats itself over and over again. What the virus does from here can be many things. The virus can act as a keylogger to steal private information, it could also infect your hard drive and secretly upload your files to a server decided by the creator of the virus.

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the main characteristics of computer viruses is related to the fact that they are programs created by hackers that attack the code of a computer, infecting files on the computer's hard drive or its source code. Once the virus has been copied onto the computer, it can contaminate other computers that come into contact with the machine.
