Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Computer virus is a malicious program which can replicate itself from one infected program to another program.

Very often computer viruses can spread throughout a computer system even before it is detected by an Anti-Virus software.

The transmission of computer virus is usually initiated by users themselves by transferring infected files to their computer or executing suspicious program from an unknown source.

A computer virus can cause issues such as loss of data, computer slow down, computer fails to boot as normal etc.
