Detailed explanation-1: -Typically, computer viruses spread through malicious online downloads, infected email attachments, or by plugging in infected hardware like an external flash drive (USB stick). Computer viruses can spread through almost any method of file sharing, as long as the virus can avoid detection by antivirus programs.
Detailed explanation-2: -Viruses spread when the software or documents they get attached to are transferred from one computer to another using a network, a disk, file sharing methods, or through infected e-mail attachments. Some viruses use different stealth strategies to avoid their detection from anti-virus software.
Detailed explanation-3: -If a virus infects your computer, it may spread to other devices on the same network. Therefore, you won’t be dealing with a single infection. As the virus spreads from device to device, you’ll be dealing with multiple infections.
