How do computer viruses spread?
Computer viruses can spread through several infection mechanisms over the internet. You might get viruses on your computer through:

Emails: Cybercriminals’ favorite method, emails can carry harmful attachments (in the form of executable files like EXE or ZIP), malicious links, or even contain an infection right in the body of the message through HTML.

Downloads: Hackers can hide viruses in apps, documents sent over file-sharing services, plug-ins, and most other places you can think of where files are available to download. (Check your child’s downloads)

Messaging services: Viruses can be spread through SMS messages or messaging services like Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, and Instagram. There, as with email, they also take the form of malicious links, attachments, or executable files.

Old software: If you haven’t updated your apps or operating system in a while, you almost certainly have vulnerabilities that cybercrooks can exploit to sneak viruses in. (DONT FORGET TO PATCH)

Malvertising: Viruses can be hidden in online advertisements, such as banner ads. Malvertising is so insidious because perpetrators can hide their malicious code even in legitimate, trusted websites like The New York Times and the BBC, both of which have been hit.
