Is it possible that one day biological viruses can stop the normal function of a computer Why or why not?
No, biological viruses infect living cells and are very specific to the cell type and species they will infect. They can neither attack computer hardware or computer software (unless someday computers are built using living cells, which is very unlikely as their "processing speed" is very slow [milliseconds per operation] compared to the electronics now used [nanoseconds or less per operation] or anticipated future technologies: e.g. carbon nanotube semiconductors, optical processors which may have speeds in the picoseconds per operation range or allow high levels of parallelism).
What else can I help you with?
What are computer viruses similar to?
Biological viruses.
Which form of virus was discovered first Computer Viruses or Biological Viruses?
Biological.
How did computer viruses first get their name?
By analogy with biological viruses.
Do bacteria cause computer viruses?
No. Computer viruses are only called "viruses" by figurative analogy with biological viruses. And biological viruses (such as chickenpox, hepatitis, and the flu) are not the same as disease-causing bacteria (such as strep throat, tuberculosis, and lyme disease).
What is the difference between biological viruses and computer viruses?
Biological Virus can kill youComputer Virus can just kill your computer, not you.Neither is living.*computer virus it is software which corrupt the system *biological virus which cause decease in human body
What term best describe viruses?
Biological viruses are pathogens that can affect either humans or animals. Computer Viruses are manmade computer coding as a program intended to disrupt the normal use of a computer and networking.
How are computer viruses similar to and different from biological viruses?
Both types:are spread by contact with a contaminated sourcecan be blocked with defensescan be modified and weaponisedcan go away after a time if certain measures are takencan kill whatever they infectcan change over timecan be costlyDifferences:computer viruses only work in a computer hostbiological viruses only work in a biological hostbiological viruses can spontaneously mutatecomputer viruses are createdbiological viruses are far more complex
How are Biological Viruses and Computer viruses alike?
Biological viruses and computer viruses are both entities that can replicate and spread, causing harm in the process. Both require a host to survive and multiply, and can exhibit a wide range of behaviors from benign to harmful. Additionally, both types of viruses can be transmitted between individuals or systems.
Function of AVG?
To protect your computer from Viruses, and attempt to remove them if they attack the computer.
What is the major difference between Biological Virus and Computer Virus?
No. Computer viruses only affect computers. Biological viruses affect animals and humans.
Why are viruses effective as vectors?
Viruses have proven to be highly effective as vectors since these are biological entities with a natural function of infecting host cells.
How are computer viruses and biological viruses alike?
I think there alike because they all still have that infection in them so it really doesn't make a difference.
