What court decides about compensation for damages?
Persons who have sustained damages (e.g. damage to property, mental distress) may claim compensation from the perpetrator either in the framework of criminal proceedings (whereby the victim sues for damages) or through separate civil action. Persons suing for damages in criminal proceedings may access related enquiry evidence. In this case, the procedural costs to be borne by the parties are lower than in case of separate civil action, since these costs are partly included in those of the criminal proceedings (to be borne by the State).

Basically, you can claim damages based on an act punishable under criminal law or under civil law. Both are possible.

Explanation:
I think it is important here not to confuse "delito de daños" with damages in a civil liability (tort) context. The "Delito de Daños" defined in Articles 263-267 of the Spanish Criminal Code (and exisiting in other Spanish-speaking jurisdictions) is equivalent to what is defined in many common law jurisdictions as "criminal damage". Depending on the jurisdiction, criminal damage encompasses many types of damage to property (criminal mischief, criminal tampering, criminal use and possession of a noxious substance, defacement, desecration, criminal littering, etc.) and includes propagating computer viruses in the cases shown below.
Responsabilidad por daños causados por virus
De: Javier Prenafeta Rodríguez
Las lamentables consecuencias y elevada cuantía de los daños que pueden causar los virus informáticos obliga a examinar la cuestión de su responsabilidad. Con carácter general, habrá que aplicar las reglas de la responsabilidad extracontractual, cuyo fundamento normativo se encuentra en el artículo 1902 del Código Civil, o bien puede derivarse de una responsabilidad penal. En España, esto último se trata como delito de daños en los arts. 263, 264 y 267 del Código Penal (...)

Australia is reporting its first computer cracking arrest. A Melbourne student is charged with computer trespass and attempted criminal damage. Authorities allege 32-year-old Deon Barylak was seen loading a personal computer with a disk that was later
found to possess a computer virus. "Fortunately, it was stopped before it could spread, which is why the charge was only attempted criminal damage," senior detective Maurice Lynn told Gavin
Atkins for a report in Newsbytes News Service.
