In computer security terminology, a virus is a piece of program code that, like a biological virus, makes copies of itself and spreads by attaching itself to a host, often damaging the host in the process. A pattern is a virus that would happen over and over.
more copies of itself
a virus
It's a virus which copies itself into new files every time a file containing it is opened.
Usually the first action that a virus or worm performs is to replicate itself. This attempts to ensure that the virus or worm spreads before being detected by a payload.
Since viruses are nonliving they have to invade and hijack a living cells DNA to make more copies of itself. If it cannot do this it cannot make more copies of itself.
A virus is a small strand of DNA or RNA that copies itself.
Because of its multiple patterns of copies of itself
Usually the first action that a virus or worm performs is to replicate itself. This attempts to ensure that the virus or worm spreads before being detected by a payload.
DNA, then RNA - it replicates itself and spreads. In doing so, breaks cell walls.
Instructions for making new copies of a virus are found in the virus's genetic material, which contains the information needed for replication. This genetic material can be RNA or DNA, depending on the type of virus. The virus uses host cells to replicate and make new copies of itself, often causing harm to the host in the process.
Poison, when inflicted on an organism, spreads and damages the organism, similar to what a virus does to a computer. A virus is able to copy itself in several areas of the system and other devices when available.
