Virus is a computer program that can copy itself and infect computers.

The term "virus" is erroneously used to refer to other types of malware, including
adware and spyware programs that do not have the reproductive ability.
A true virus can spread from one computer to another (in some form of
executable code).
One of the ways by which a virus can infect your PC is through USB/Flash
drives.
Common viruses such as 'Ravmon' , 'New Folder.exe', 'Orkut is banned' are
spreading through USB drive .
Most anti virus programs are unable to detect them and even if they do, in most
cases they are unable
to delete the file, only quarantine it.So in our post we use command prompt to
remove harmful files that
any anti-virus can't.
These are the steps.
