Every year when the Italian artist Michelangelo’s (1475－1564) birthday comes around computer users all over the world are filled with fear and use their computers with care. Some may even choose not to turn on their computers on March 3rd. All this fear and care are just because a deadly computer virus(病毒) is ready to cause damages on that day.

What’s a computer virus then? Why do people get so afraid of it?

A computer virus is in fact a little program that is put into other programs and that does something bad. It is called a virus because like any real-life viruses such as AIDS virus it reproduces(繁殖) itself. And when these programs are run the virus is brought to life. It hides itself in your computer system waiting for the right moment to make damages. And at the same time it keeps producing itself by copying itself onto other programs.

The Michelangelo virus waits until the artist’s birthday comes around and then it will wake up to do very bad things like destroying you files. So next time when you turn on your computer look out for computer viruses!
