The major difference is in how they spread and what they infect:

  • A biological virus infects living organisms like humans or animals, spreading through physical contact, air, or fluids.
    
  • A computer virus infects digital systems, spreading through files, emails, or network connections.
    

One harms the body, the other damages data or systems. Both need a host to survive and replicate, but their environments are completely different.
