A virus usually starts by infecting a host application, and then spreads through e-mail to other programs and data files. A virus that is successful can cause a great deal of damage and destruction within an extremely short period of time.
A virus’ creation requires time and expertise However, anyone interested in computer programming can learn how to make an infection. You can make a virus to find out about a programming langauge, or as a joke. A virus can be a good method to test the efficacy of an antivirus scanner.
This article will explain how to create a simple computer virus using Python but the same procedure can be used for any programming language. Python is a suitable programming language for beginners as it is simple to learn and relatively quick. For viruses, other programming languages that can be compiled are typically preferred because they work at lower levels of the computer and will consequently be more efficient.
