ASA
A.S.A.
A.s.a.
aspirin
Aspirin
acetylsalycylic acid
Statisticial analysis of data is almost always easier if these variants can all be mapped to one that appears in the pharmacopoeia for the country whose laws are governing the trial. The original data would usually be left on the trial's database but they would be made available for subsequent processing in canonical form.

Can elf yourself give your computer a virus?
Normally, no
However, as with anything on the internet it is possible that if you attempt to obtain the data files from a 3rd party rather than its original source, than a virus may have been added later

If you have any fears regarding the safety of software or internet browsing, I recommend finding a reputable antivirus program, there are many and some of them are free
I recommend downloading SpyBot: Search and Destroy and MalwareBytes. These programs are free and are also very effective. SpyBot keeps your computer safe from spyware and MalwareBytes keeps you safe from malware. There is a difference from viruses and malware.
