Why do the viruses evolve as if they were alive?
Viruses are not living things. Viruses are complicated assemblies of molecules, including proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates, but on their own they can do nothing until they enter a living cell. Without cells, viruses would not be able to multiply. Therefore, viruses are not living things. When a virus encounters a cell, a series of chemical reactions occur that lead to the production of new viruses. These steps are completely passive, that is, they are predefined by the nature of the molecules that comprise the virus particle. Viruses don't actually 'do' anything. Often scientists and non-scientists alike ascribe actions to viruses such as employing, displaying, destroying, evading, exploiting, and so on. These terms are incorrect because viruses are passive, completely at the mercy of their environment

How was the virus discovered?
Viruses were identified as non-bacterial toxic agents by many researchers beginning with Louis Pasteur in the 1870's, Charles Chamberland in 1884, and Dimitri Ivanovsky in 1892. Viruses were different because they could penetrate filters that stopped bacteria. Martinus Beijerinck defined the virus as a nucleotide particle rather than a fluid in 1898. It was not until 1935 that Wendell Stanley was able to crystallize viral particles and they were imaged for the first time using an electron microscope in 1939.
What do viruses that cause physical diseases infect?
It depends on what kind of virus. Viruses can infect any cell in the human body. Viruses such as HIV infect the immune system; air-born viruses, such as H1N1 or a cold, infect the respiratory system; neurological viruses, like rabies infect the brain (the virus is usually carried to it by peripheral nerves); and viruses like polio effect the nervous system, which can create paralysis.
What is the importance of antivirus?
Anti-viruses are very important, as they protect your computer from MOST (not all) viruses and other malicious programs.
