An email virus is a type of malicious software (malware) that is spread through email messages. The virus typically spreads by sending copies of itself to everyone listed in the email address book of an infected computer. In some cases, the virus can also be sent as an attachment or can include links to malicious websites. The main purpose of an email virus is to replicate itself and spread to as many computers as possible. Once a computer is infected, the virus can perform various malicious activities, such as stealing personal information, installing additional malware, or sending more emails to further spread the virus.
