Is a computer virus alive?

While the answer below is creative and can somewhat be understood, the simple answer to this question is: No. A computer virus is not alive. It is just a malevolent program that is designed to automatically attack a computer, but it is not alive like viruses that attack a human body.A living virus?In my opinion; A computer virus acts like a program, but when executed, it does malicious tasks automatically in your computer without you knowing. Since it works inside a computer, it's like it breathes on electricity, and thinks with the Artificial Intelligence given by its creator. Without electricity, the virus doesn't breathe its source of life for it to do its purpose. So you could say it is "virtually" alive or something like that.

What are the differences between alytic infection and lysogemic infection?

In a lytic infection, the virus enters the host cell, takes over the cell machinery to replicate itself, and then destroys the host cell to release new viral particles. In contrast, in a lysogenic infection, the viral DNA integrates into the host cell's DNA and remains dormant without causing immediate harm; the viral DNA can be activated to enter the lytic cycle under certain conditions.
