Yes, I know about computer viruses. Some common types of viruses are Trojans, worms, ransomware, and spyware. Trojans masquerade as legitimate software in order to spread themselves while worms use networks to replicate themselves and gain access to devices without any user interaction. Ransomware encrypts data and demands money from the user in exchange for decryption keys while spyware secretly gathers information and sends it to external users. Other malicious programs may modify system settings or destroy files on a computer as well.
To protect against viruses it's important to make sure you have a good antivirus installed on your device as well as keep it up-to-date with current virus definitions in order for it detect anything harmful that may be installed on your system. Additionally, refrain from opening emails or downloading attachments from unverified sources and regularly backup your data so that if something happens you can still recover at least some of your information.

I am familiar with computer viruses and how they can be harmful to a computer system. Computer viruses are malicious programs designed to modify or delete data on a computer without the user's knowledge. Viruses can spread from one computer to another through network connections and may cause programs to crash, corrupt or delete important files, slow down the performance of computers, and cause unwanted advertisement pop-ups. Additionally, virus attacks can be launched remotely via email attachments or web links that appear legitimate but once triggered, launch malicious code onto the targeted system.
