A '''Windows Virus''' is a small bit of executable code that spreads when users open infected files or applications.  There are so many [[Windows (operating system)|Windows]] viruses and other forms of [[Malicious software|malware]] that it is difficult to get a good estimate of how many exist: figures range from several hundred to more than a million.  Windows viruses and malware do not affect [[Apple|Macs]], but Mac [[computer]]s can act as an [[asymptomatic carrier]], allowing users to pass infected files on to friends and colleagues using Windows.
