An infected PC is like an open bank account where it can be used by somebody else also. Before the symptoms and threats of computer virus on your PC let’s first understand, what is computer virus?

Computer Virus

A computer virus is a malicious computer program that can replicate itself and spread from one computer to another without any permission from the owner. The term "virus" is also commonly but erroneously used to refer to other types of malware like spyware, adware, worms, Trojan horses, rootkits, etc.
According to a survey in March 2011

Trojan Horses(69.99%) is a type of malware that apparently performs a desirable function for the user. However, what the user does not see is that, although it really performs the useful function, it also facilitates access to the user’s ...
... PC. Literally, Trojan malware is not a virus because it is unable to replicate.

Computer worms(7.77%) are not viruses. In fact, there is a big difference between a computer worm and a virus. First, the worm does not need any file to act as its host. Most of them simply consume network bandwidth, as opposed to computer viruses that usually destroy files. There are tens of thousands of computer worms on the internet, so you can be sure that you have at least one of them hiding in your file system.

Adware(2.27) does is show some random paid ads in the program’s interface or as a separate popup advertisement. Adware is considered a lawful way to make money for developers that are willing to let you use their products free of charge. Adware does not track your activity and does not store or send any bit of information from your computer.

Spyware (0.08%) ,one of the most dangerous types of computer programs. It is a form of computer malware that specializes in stealing sensitive information and sending it to the attacker.
