Viral evolution is a subfield of evolutionary Biology that is specifically concerned with the evolution of viruses. Many viruses, in particular RNA viruses, have short generation times and relatively high mutation rates (on the order of one point mutation or more per genome per round of replication for RNA viruses). This elevated mutation rate, when combined with natural selection, allows viruses to quickly adapt to changes in their host environment.
Viral evolution is an important aspect of the epidemiology of viral diseases such as influenza, HIV, and hepatitis. It also causes problems in the development of successful vaccines and antiviral drugs, as resistant mutations often appear within weeks or months after the beginning of the treatment

Identify and describe emerging technologies?
Emerging technology is technology based on a new idea that is being tested to determine if it will produce the results it claims, with the ultimate goal that the technology will eventually be mass produced.
Does the Heuristic tests help prevent new viruses?
True
Which technical discipline has the following goal- to demonstrate new and emerging technologies that have a direct application to military systems?
Science and Technology
Why is it so difficult to correctly identify a new product or process as emerging technology?
Technology is defined by how people use scientific knowledge, and not only does scientific knowledge constantly change, but the way we use it is also constantly changing. Emerging technologies refers to a new technology or technological innovations. The problem is that what can be considered new and how fast will it become obsolete? Our world is changing so fast, that current technology will be obsolete in just a few months, or maybe a year from now. Because new technologies become old too fast, it is very difficult to identify them before they are no longer an innovation. Only those technologies that become mainstream can be clearly identified as emerging technologies, e.g. the iPhone was considered an emerging technology in 2007 and even though the first iPhone is obsolete now, it became mainstream technology.
29 What type of computer programs did the Dark Avenger Mutation Engine promise to make more powerful?
Viruses. Dark Avenger created a Polymorphic (mutation) Engine which allowed viruses to duplicate themselves, each time modifying itself (mutating itself). This made it incredibly difficult for anti virus softwares to detect the virus, so much so that they needed to create a new technique in order to detect these Polymorphic (mutating) viruses.
Evaluate the argument that emerging viruses are new viruses.?

What is an emerging market?
An emerging market is a new major player on the world's economic stage. Some new nations that are emerging include Vietnam and Nigeria.
What do latent viruses not do?
They are not active and do not make new viruses.
How many new computer viruses are created yearly?
About 200 new viruses are released into networks a year.
What are the release dates for The New Edge - 1996 Emerging Technologies 1-1?
The New Edge - 1996 Emerging Technologies 1-1 was released on: USA: 20 June 1996
Viruses make the host cell produce new viruses which kills th host cell?

What kind of virus make the host cell create new viruses?
viruses

How are viruses spread from cell to cell?
New viruses are released after the lytic cycle. ~Gradpoint/Novanet
If you put a new processor and harddrive on an old computer with viruses will it make it fast?
The viruses are in your data on the hard drives. The new processor will help speed up the machine but will not remove the viruses.
How many viruses are online?
Its a pretty much impossible question to answer as new viruses are created all the time and sometimes old viruses resurface or a modified by a new malicious coder. What you should be aware of is that there are always viruses that are "in the wild" and that is why protection has to be constantly updated, to deal with the new and changing threats.
