The Life of a Computer
 Computer viruses are created when a programmer creates
computer code that has the capability to replicate itself.
 To protect your home computer against computer viruses,
worms, and Trojans, you should invest in anti-virus
software.
 There are several signs to know that your computer has
been infected: new files appear out of no where, program
size changes, sometimes you will hear strange noises from
the computer or the keyboard, and a common sign is when
the computer takes longer than normal to load. (Shelly,
