Read the text aloud and translate it orally. Pay attention to the pronunciation of words.

A computer virus is a computer program that


replicates itself and spreads from one computer to
another. Viruses increase their chances of spreading
to other computers by infecting files on a network
file system.
Many people erroneously use the term "virus" to
refer to other types of malware, and they include in
the same category adware and spyware programs
that do not reproduce themselves.
A true virus spreads from one computer to another (in some form of executable
code) when a computer user takes its host to the target computer; for instance
because a user sends it over a network or the Internet, or carries it on a removable
medium such as a floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB drive.

Malware includes computer worms,


Trojan horses, most rootkits, spyware,
dishonest adware and other malicious
and unwanted software, including
true viruses. People sometimes
confuse viruses with worms and
Trojan horses, which differ technically.
A worm exploits security
vulnerabilities and it spreads itself
automatically to other computers through networks, while a
Trojan horse is a program that appears harmless but hides
malicious functions.

Worms and Trojan horses, like viruses, can harm a


computer system's data or performance. Some
viruses and other malware have symptoms
noticeable to the computer user, but many more
do not do anything to call attention to themselves. Some viruses do nothing more
than reproduce themselves.
