Some ways of spreading virus programs have already been indicated above, but now we will analyze a couple more ways.
Downloading programs from unreliable sources – When you download programs from various sites, you always put yourself in danger because every new site that you visit is a potential danger to your PC.For example, you want to download a computer game and use the same site all the time, but now there is no way to use it and phone number list you decide to look for a new download site. So you found the site and downloaded the torrent file and everything seems to be fine, but a couple of days after launching this torrent file, the system started working slowly and in the task manager you see the load of the processor and RAM or disk at the maximum. This means that you most likely acquired the virus using your download.
Downloading a photo - can also be a source of viruses. From personal experience, I will tell you that there was a moment when downloading a photo led to the fact that I lost my account passwords and was hacked. You need to be careful when downloading photos from unreliable sources or by e-mail (especially by it).
Removable media – A regular USB flash drive can also be a hotbed of computer viruses. You may have photos or something else stored on a USB flash drive and you decided to check them using a new computer. It was after connecting to it that your flash drive was infected and when connected to a personal computer, you can get various kinds of viruses. So be careful with removable media and the computers you use.
Internet and local networks - To get a virus, sometimes it's enough just to go to the wrong link either in an email or through a direct message from the user. A normal click on a link is also dangerous because you can catch a virus on your devices and not even suspect it.
