No, they don't.
The ability of viruses to hide in the host's DNA. The fact that viruses can hide very well inside your dna.
Stealth Viruses
The pathogens (viruses, bacteria, etc) like to hide out in the armpits! The pathogens (viruses, bacteria, etc) like to hide out in the armpits!
Virus can hide in files,folders,the registry,the boot sector,executable progams and documents
Cells, they reproduce by invading a cell and using its functions to make more viruses, eventually killing a cell. That's why viruses are bad, and that where they "hide".
Many viruses hide in (or 'hijack') a healthy cell - so as not to be discovered by the body's immune system.
There are multiple places a virus can hide. The common places are C:\Windows and C:\Windows\System32.

Hidden viruses include rootkits, bootkits, and stealth viruses that hide their presence on a system to evade detection. Active viruses include file infectors, macro viruses, and polymorphic viruses that infect files or use different code patterns to avoid detection.
They are not playing hide and seek game.They infect the human cells to spread themselves. This cause disease in human.
Many viruses self replicate. Viruses will create folders inside folders to hide in order to cause damage. If the same folder is inside every single folder then you most likely have one of these self replicating viruses.
Viruses can hide files by embedding them within legitimate-looking files or system processes, making them less detectable. They often use techniques such as polymorphism, where they change their code each time they replicate, or rootkit functionality, which conceals their presence from users and security software. Additionally, some viruses may alter file attributes or use encryption to obscure their true nature, further complicating detection and removal.
