Computer viruses were labeled as viruses because of the fact that they are similar to that of biological viruses in the aspect of multiplying themselves.

Viruses aren't as common as other computer problems. They're found in about 0.15 percent of e-mails, according to the latest figures from MessageLabs, a provider of Internet security products that analyzes more than 180 million e-mails worldwide every day for its business clients.
