Viruses are composed of two main parts: an outer protein covering called a capsid and an inside core of either DNA or RNA. Not both DNA and RNA. Some of these have an envelope over the capsid. The ones that do not are said to be naked. The proteins in the capsid allow the virus to attach to the "docking stations" proteins of the host cell. The naked viruses are more resistant to changes in the environment.
Some naked viruses include poliomyelitis, warts, the common cold, chickenpox, shingles, mononucleosis, herpes simplex (cold sores), influenza, herpes viruses and HIV (AIDS).
Some enveloped viruses include norovirus (stomach bug), rotavirus and human papillomavirus (HPV).
The envelope can be damaged by freezing temperatures, chlorine, and phenol. If damaged the virus cannot infect.

What is the main part of a Dell computer?
All computers contain the same set of components so the question can not be answered specifically for a DELL.All of the components, or substantially all of the components are required to make the machine work. That said I would think that all of the components are main components.The processor, memory; those are considered the heart of the machine.
