Un virus informático es sencillamente un programa desarrollado con fines maliciosos, esto también llamados (Malwares), esto infectan a otros archivos del sistema cambiando su estructura y causando algún tipo de daño.

¿Cómo acciona?
El malware acciona cuando se incrusta un código en el sistema de la computadora infectada que en este caso pasa a ser la víctima, por lo general es un archivo ejecutable, desde ese mismo momento que se ejecuta comienza su trabajo de ejecutar el código para lo que ha sido diseñado.

Si tomamos la analogía del virus humano que para combatir se utilizan los antibióticos, en este caso para contrarrestar el ataque de los virus informáticos se utilizan los llamados "Antivirus".

Los virus NO tienen la función de replicarse, se ejecutan para cumplir determinada función como encriptar archivos bajo un cifrado desconocido y para descifrar esos archivos infectados la víctima debe pagar como si se tratara de un rescate por ejemplo.

Próximamente hablaremos de los gusanos.

A computer virus is simply a program developed for malicious purposes, also called (Malwares), this infects other files on the system by changing their structure and causing some kind of damage.

How does it work?
Malware operates when a code is embedded in the infected computer system, which in this case becomes the victim, usually an executable file, from the moment it is executed, it begins its work of executing the code for what has been designed.

If we take the analogy of the human virus that antibiotics are used to fight, in this case to counteract the attack of computer viruses so-called "Antivirus" is used.

Viruses DO NOT have the function of replicating themselves, they are executed to fulfill a certain function such as encrypting files under unknown encryption and to decrypt those infected files the victim must pay as if it were a ransom for example.

We will talk about worms soon.
