Well, some viruses came from computers that can't read a data or reading a corrupted file then it all mixed up and spread it on your computer and duplicate or overwrite a file. Other viruses are made by people that are being nothing to do with their lives, I know how to make a FAKE virus... it's just fake, not the real thing. If you want: using windows, right click on the desktop, click "new shortcut", then in the message box type "shutdown -s -t (the time you want) -c "(message)" example: shutdown -s -t 30 -c "Your computer will now shutdown because of a virus.". And the last thing, change the icon so it wouldn't be look like a virus and rename it. To stop it, click start then run and type "shutdown -a" and click run.

A computer virus is a computer program that can copy itself and infect a computer without permission or knowledge of the user. The original may modify the copies or the copies may modify themselves, as occurs in a metamorphic virus. A virus can only spread from one computer to another when its host is taken to the uninfected computer, for instance by a user sending it over a network or carrying it on a removable medium such as a floppy disk, CD, USB drive or by the Internet. Additionally, viruses can spread to other computers by infecting files on a network file system or a file system that is accessed by another computer. Viruses are sometimes confused with computer worms and Trojan horses. A worm, however, can spread itself to other computers without needing to be transferred as part of a host. A Trojan horse is a file that appears harmless until executed. In contrast to viruses, Trojan horses do not insert their code into other computer files. Many personal computers are now connected to the Internet and to local-area networks, facilitating their spread. Today's viruses may also take advantage of network services such as the World Wide Web, e-mail, and file sharing systems to spread, blurring the line between viruses and worms. Furthermore, some sources use an alternative terminology in which a virus is any form of self-replicating malware.

The term comes from the term virus in biology. A computer virus reproduces by making (possibly modified) copies of itself in the computer's memory, storage, or over a network. This is similar to the way a biological virus works.

Some viruses are programmed to damage the computer by damaging programs, deleting files, or reformatting the hard disk. Others are not designed to do any damage, but simply replicate themselves and perhaps make their presence known by presenting text, video, or audio messages. Even these benign viruses can create problems for the computer user. They typically take up computer memory used by legitimate programs. As a result, they often cause erratic behavior and can result in system crashes. In addition, many viruses are bug-ridden, and these bugs may lead to system crashes and data loss.

There are many viruses operating in the general Internet today, and new ones are created and discovered every day.

You talking about computer viruses? These are made by evil minded criminals. They have the computer savvy to write code and execute attacks. Some do it as a criminal attack in order to steal your information so they can steal your credit card or banking information and defraud merchants at your expense. Others do it as simple "Ego masturbation" to show they're smarter than you. All should be in the catagory of bank robbers and the Federal authorities should arrest, try, and incarcerate them. Yes, the computer virus is man made!

All viruses and Trojans are MANMADE and for the most part are done by people from 16 to 25.
Many times by the time they relese it and pass it on it may be almost impossible to trace it's source.

yes they are man made people do this because they can
and if people can track them to were they are originated yes they will get in lots of trouble
but they are hard to trace
