They appear from time to time and, after provoking an agitation in their life, they come back from the place where they have come, leaving users desperate. Of course, those who regularly use computers are referring to the viruses we love so much, and this time the reason why we publish the news: It is the appearance of a virus that attacks the well-known Word 6.0 program, the so-called Winword Concept virus.

To be more precise, the virus does not attack the well-known Word 6.0 word processor, but the text files treated through it. The question immediately comes to mind: if it is not from the program, where do you get the attack orders of a generous virus? It seems that the virus uses the programming languages that the Word program uses to go against the text. The virus, therefore, works as an application of the program that opens through these languages and spreads to the text as soon as the program opens.
