Explanation / Answer

Ans.

I visited a malicious site which was not blocked by my firewall. Therefore, all the viruses present in the file on that website were downloaded to my system at the time of downloading the file. It was specific to those people who dont have their firewalls configured to handle that site in particular. Therefore, all such people would get affected. It was malicious as it damaged my other files present on my system.
