Most viruses get on computers because the AV programs people are running are not doing the job they want:
Take a person running free AVG AV, this person is going to get lots of viruses because it a very poor AV program, where as a person who know this will back it up with free bitdefender will get less.

They can get on Computers in a variety of ways........
1) Cdrom: Let's say say Sally works at H+M Company she
brings in her music cdrom she doesn't know that her cdroms
music has a virus in it and boom the Companies Computers
get infected.
2) Installing warez programs that have rootkit in them or trojan
backdoors
3) Clicking on attachments in e-mail
4) Clicking on a sight through google that looks legit but is a
trap and has a dropper virus that will infect the Computer
the instant the user clicks on the link :(

viruses are executable files, and mostly they come with autorun files so that it will run automatically even without the permission of the user.. they come with files like autorun.. but if you got a good antivirus.. one that is updated, you can be assured that those viruses wont get passed your system.. beware also of malicious scripts.. scripts that meddle with your system.. some anti virus also come with script stopper.. mcafee has one..
