A virus is something that creeps into your computer without your consent.
It performs various tasks without your knowledge (generally using a LAN or
Internet connection).
Its goal is to spread as much as possible.
It is difficult to get rid of it.
It is difficult to know what it does exactly.
Eventually it crashes your computer, leaving you in trouble.
That's a pretty good definition of Windows...
