If you wanted to identify if you have a virus then I suggest you download a virus anti scanning system. Such as AVG or Norton then after this it will give you details of where your virus is and then you can go and sort it out from there. AVG 8.0 is the latest to be released from them and probably one of the best online.
A database anti-virus scanners use to identify viruses. Basically a big list of hashes that uniquely identify a virus.
Signature / Identifier: this is like the virus passport number. A sequence of characters (numbers, letters, etc.) that identify the virus
uroboros
smallpox

Amino acid sequences can be compared to databases of known viral sequences to identify the source of a virus. This comparison can reveal similarities between the amino acid sequences of the virus in question and those of known viruses, helping to determine its origin. By analyzing these similarities, researchers can infer relationships between different viruses and trace the evolutionary history of the virus in question.
The family practitioner doesnt actually identify the H1N1 virus. If a local test shows up as positive, they send those results to a more specialized hospital to determine if that result is of the flu or the H1N1 virus.
During a Blue Screen crash, in some cases it will tell you what file (or virus) caused the crash.
because it is a faster prcess with virus.
Scientists used preserved lung tissue samples from victims of the 1918 influenza pandemic to isolate and identify the virus responsible. They also compared genetic material from these samples to influenza viruses that circulated in animals at the time, helping to pinpoint the origin of the virus. Additionally, historical records and clinical symptoms helped researchers understand the impact and characteristics of the 1918 virus.

MySpace itself is, yes - however I have had my virus protection identify several of the rotating adds (not from MySpace, but served through them) used at MySpace as spyware / viruses.
