Computer Virus - Is any program that replicates
itself with malicious intent. If a program doesn't replicate itself, it isn't a virus.
Viruses can be broken down into three
main types:
Program - This is any
form of executable file including, i.e., .com, .exe, .drv, .sys, .bin, etc.
Boot - Boot record,
master boot, FAT, partition table.
Multipartite - both
program and boot infector
