Every year when the Italian artist Michelangelo’s (1475－1564，意大利文艺复兴时期著名雕刻家、画家、建筑师) birthday comes around, computer users all over the world are filled with fear (害怕) and use their computers with care.

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
