A virus usually starts by infecting a host application and then spreading through email to other programs and data files. A virus that is successful can cause a great deal of destruction and damage in a short time.
It takes time and knowledge to create a computer virus, but anyone who is interested in computer programming can learn how. The process of creating a virus can be done with the intention of learning about a programming language or even as a prank. A virus can be used to test an antivirus’s effectiveness.
This article will explain how to create a simple computer virus using Python however the same process can be used for any programming language. Python is a great programming language for beginners since it is simple to learn and relatively fast. For viruses, other programming languages that can be compiled are usually preferred because they work at an inferior level of the computer and therefore be more effective.
