can a virus introduced to the computer by using any software program?
Answers
Answer:
Yes it is possible
Explanation:
When downloading any software (programs, utilities, games, updates, demos, etc.) via the Internet, make sure you're downloading the software from a reliable source. Be sure to run your downloads through your antivirus and spyware scanners upon completion. As we stated in a previous section, during the installation process, read all prompts about what the program is installing on your computer.
Verify if a website is reliable by using tools such as WOT.
When installing or updating a program, you're often asked if you want "additional software" to be installed. Often, this option is presented as a check box, which is already checked. So, if you click "Next" or "OK," the program considers that as permission, and installs the software — whether you want it or not. For this reason, be very careful when installing software. Make sure to read everything on every screen of the installation process before clicking any buttons.
