Explanation: Computer software can be used in ways that disturb other users or disrupt their work. Viruses, for example, are programs meant to harm helpful computer programs or interfere with the normal functioning of a computer.

It may cause a computer to function wrongly or even stop working. Using malicious software to attack a computer is unethical.
