Although every file or program has a digital origin that can be traced back, some virus creators encrypt their program and make an "armored virus" so that it will be harder to trace the creator back to their point of origin. Some hackers also use "zombie" viruses to create a botnet. A botnet is a network of two or more "zombified" computers that are under the control of the hacker without the user's knowledge. Since there could be dozens of computers comprising a botnet, this makes it very difficult to trace the hacker because you would first have to trace back all of the zombified computers.

Can you catch a cold by riding a bike?

Kinda-sorta, but not really. It's not temperature that gives you a cold, it's a virus. If you get in contact with the virus you can catch a cold regardless of what you're doing and what temperature it is. But if you're working hard, and being out in the cold, your body will be spending a fair bit of effort on keeping you warm and moving, which can make it easier for the virus to infect you.
