How does windows virus spread itself?
Windows virus should have the permit to execute code and write to memory so that it can replicate itself. For this reason, many viruses attach themselves to executable files that are part of legitimate programs. When users try to run an infected program, the virus’ code may be executed. A true windows virus can spread from one computer to another when its host is taken to the target computer. For instance because a user sent it over a network or the Internet, or carried it on a removable medium such as a floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB drive.

What is the symptom if a computer is infected by windows virus?

* Distorted menus and dialog boxes.
* Applications on the computer do not work correctly, always with error messages.
* Disks or disk drives are closed down abruptly.
* Strange sounds or music plays from the speakers unexpectedly.
* Anti-virus program cannot be installed on the computer.

* New icons appear that you did not create there, and the icons are not associated with any installed programs.
* A program disappears from the computer even though you did not intentionally remove the program.
