When creating a virus, you should think of the following: * What will it exploit? How will the virus enter a computer and not be detected? * How will the virus infect other programs? Is it a non-memory residential virus or a memory-residential virus? * How fast will it infect the host computer? In other words, will the virus spread extremely fast to destroy the computer as soon as possible or will it spread more slowly to make sure it is not detected by antiviruses? * How will the virus conceal itself? Will the virus infect antivirus programs to avoid detection, use polymorphism, or some other stealth function?
