Best Answer

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?

Asking these questions allows you to have what virus in mind you want to make and lead the way to making the perfect specimen.

Viruses are classified differently than living organisms, since they are not technically alive. In taxonomy, viruses are not assigned to a Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, or Order. The influenza viruses start, in most classification systems, at the level of the Family. They are in the Family of Orthomyxoviridae. There are a few newer classification systems that have been developed to better categorize and classify viruses, but these are not yet the standard.
