We have all encountered computer viruses. 🦠💻
Some of them will threaten our privacy, others — simply require time and a trip to the service center. For most of us, computer viruses are an invisible threat from the virtual world from which the escape is simple: disconnect your computer from the network, and you are in a place of safety. But this impression is deceptive: malware can destroy a strategically important object within a few moments without leaving a single fingerprint.
