This was meant for the newbs that have no knowledge of viruses, to explain a few different types of viruses, so please don't flame me.

Worm- destructive programs that replicate throughout disks and memory, using up computer resources and eventually bringing the system down.

Boot Virus- virus written into the boot sectors of disk. If the disks are booted, they infect the system.

Macro Virus- viruses written in a macro language and placed within a document. When the document is opened the macro language exexcuted the destruction or the prank.

Virus Hoax- phoney warnings sent out by pranksters to upset as many people as possible.
