Computer Virus Notice
What is a virus?
A virus is a program written with malicious intent for the sole purpose of
creating havoc in a computer system. It attaches itself to executable files or
boot sectors, so it can replicate and spread. Some viruses may only cause
your system to beep or display messages or images on the screen. Other
viruses are highly destructive and corrupt or erase the contents of your files
or disks. To be safe, never assume any virus is harmless.
