Virus
A virus is a type of malware that is designed to replicate itself and spread from computer to computer. It generally works by embedding malicious code into legitimate software or files, which then cause the affected system to behave in an unexpected way. This can include stealing data, corrupting files, displaying unwanted advertisements, or even deleting important information. Viruses are typically spread through email attachments or downloads from untrusted websites.
Cryptocurrency users should be especially aware of viruses as they may attempt to steal private keys and passwords used for accessing wallets and other sensitive information such as personal identity documents used when exchanging cryptocurrency with another user. To protect against these threats, it’s important to use appropriate anti-virus software on all devices where cryptocurrencies are stored or used. Additionally, users should avoid downloading any suspicious files from unknown sources and refrain from visiting questionable websites while using their crypto wallet or exchange account.
