Email Viruses With the tremendous growth of the Internet, viruses can travel around the world in hours, now.   Many viruses come as attachments to email messages. As soon as you double click on the attachment to open it, you’re infected. Viruses can insert themselves into your programs, rendering them useless. Most viruses compromise computers by the volume of their replication. They can fill up a hard drive or usurp your available memory. Often, a virus will carry a destructive payload: a second virus that does more damage.   Most viruses don't want to kill the infected, host machine. The goal is to use the machine as a Zombie.
