Detailed explanation-1: -A computer virus might corrupt or delete data on a computer, use an email program to spread the virus to other computers, or even delete everything on the hard disk.
Detailed explanation-2: -A computer virus is a harmful program that is designed to insert unwanted code into another program or file (the host file). Each time the host file is run, the virus code in it will also run and insert more unwanted code, either into the same file or into other files on the same machine.
Detailed explanation-3: -A virus can cause a number of problems on your infected device. It may quickly use all your computer’s available memory-slowing down your system or bringing it to a halt. Viruses can damage data, destroy files, format hard drives, or make disks unreadable.
Detailed explanation-4: -Delete: Completely removes the file from the computer, which is useful if you don’t want it anymore. As with any deleted file, a file that your antivirus program deletes is no longer visible and can’t be used. Clean: Removes the infection from the file but does not actually delete the file itself.
