Viruses usually begin to spread before they are identified, and the only way they are identified is when someone discovers their computer is behaving incorrectly and then they realize they have a virus. Viruses are usually hidden in programs and activated when a program run. They also can be attached to certain other types of files, such as email attachments and video files.
