:Examples of Viruses

Just as there are many types of malware, there are also many varieties of viruses. That said, it is important to remember that the definition of malware is much broader and includes a wide variety of techniques and methods. Viruses, on the other hand, are similar in the sense that they all rely on self-replication to infect new hosts.

Common types of viruses include:

  • Boot Sector Virus
  • Browser Hijacker
  • Direct Action Virus
  • File Infector Virus
  • Macro Virus
  • Multipartite Virus
  • Overwrite Virus
  • Polymorphic Virus

Computer Viruse What is a computer virus? Computer viruses are a type of malware that earned their name because of how they spread by "infecting" other files on a disk or computer. Viruses then spread to other disk drives and machines when the infected files are received in downloads from websites, email attachments, shared drives or when carried in files on physical media, such as USB drives or—in the early days—floppy disks.
