I wondered the same thing. I read the other answer and noticed that it is a little wrong. In order to activate a virus, YOU (or another program you activated) must activate the executable file (.exe).
Once one virus is activated and there is a connection to it's main server, it can donwload more, which are automatically started or are triggered by something you do.
My advice to you is not to open or download anything you don't know about.

They also have programs that can hide in your computer folders. They can put virus' in your computer. & The only way you can really get them out if report them if you know who it is or do aton of virus scans and you might be able to get them out, by deleting them? Hope this helps. ♥ [ xostarbrightbaby's advice column | Ask xostarbrightbaby A Question ]
