No smartass replies I’m serious I need to know I’m doing a paper.

Edit: Here I am being a shithead trying to come up with the dumbest question possible and people are getting all informative on me.

    Well as one of those persons who did development on home computers in the 80s I know exactly how they spread … :) Bootsectors mostly, but there were some that hid themselves in executables too. You copied a disk from a friend, ran it and the virus was then resident in memory until you turned the computer off again. Any new disks you inserted would be at risk of getting infected.
