What is a computer virus?

A type of hardware
A computer program designed to cause harm
A type of data storage
A type of software

The correct answer is: A computer program designed to cause harm

A computer virus is not a type of hardware because it cannot physically exist or be touched like a hardware component. It is also not a type of data storage because it is not used for storing data. It is not a type of software because it is not a normal or useful program. A computer virus is specifically designed to cause harm, such as damaging files, collecting personal information, or disrupting computer performance. It is a type of malicious program that can infect a computer and spread to other computers.
