A true virus can only spread from one computer to another (in some form of executable code) 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. Viruses can increase their chances of spreading to other computers by infecting files on a network file system or a file system that is accessed by another computer" There are literally millions of viruses doing the circuit and also a lot of hoax viruses which cause what are now as "mailstorms" which is where you receive an email where someone is telling you to "watch out for this virus" most of these are hoaxes but by you sending the message on to all of your contacts and your contacts doing the same, it is wasting everyones time and therefore the hoax message has carried out its purpose.
