A computer virus is simply a collection of self-propagating code--though by design it has to act in an underhanded way in order to infect new hosts, it is not inherently bad. There has been some research into antiviral and antispam viruses. The problem is that a virus is still a chunk of code operating without permission on a person's computer.
