The diffence between human virus and computer viruses?

Human viruses take over human cellular functions. These human viruses have either RNA or DNA instruction sets surrounded by a protein coat. After these instructions enter the human cell, they co-opt cell functions to perform duties the virus wants done. Computer viruses take over computer functions. Computer viruses are programs created by humans and have a series of 1's and 0's to make up instruction sets. After these instructions enter the computer, they co-opt computer functions to perform duties the virus wants done. So, the biggest difference is that the human virus instruction set is encoded in biological molecules of RNA or DNA, and the computer virus instruction set is encoded in 1's and 0's that the computer sees as a program to run.
