viruses: Encyclopedia II - List of computer viruses - Naming

One fundamental fact that makes the compilation of a unified list of viruses difficult is naming. When a new virus appears, the rush begins to identify and understand it as well as develop appropriate counter-measures to stop its propagation. Along the way, a name is attached to the virus. As the developers of anti-virus software compete partly based on how quickly they react to the new threat they usually study and name the viruses independently. By the time it is identified which names denote the same virus the di ...

viruses: Encyclopedia II - Computer virus - Viruses and legitimate software
Computer virus - The vulnerability of operating systems to viruses. Another analogy to biological viruses: just as genetic diversity in a population decreases the chance of a single disease wiping out a population, the diversity of software systems on a network similarly limits the destructive potential of viruses. This became a particular concern in the 1990s, when Microsoft gained market dominance in desktop operating systems and office suites. Users who use Microsoft software (especially networking soft ...

viruses: Encyclopedia II - Malware - Infectious malware: viruses and worms

The best-known types of malware, viruses and worms, are known for the manner in which they spread, rather than any other particular behavior. Originally, the term computer virus was used for a program which infected other executable software, while a worm transmitted itself over a network to infect computers. Today, the words are often used interchangeably. Today, some draw the distinction between viruses and worms by saying that a virus requires user intervention to spread, whereas a worm spreads automatic ...

viruses: Encyclopedia - Virology

Virology is the study of viruses and their properties. Virology is both the study of how a virus can affect a cell, and the biological and biochemical properties of a virus. Biochemically, viruses are very different to other living organisms and there is a great debate as to whether a virus can actually be considered alive. Most viruses consist of nucleic acid inside a protein shell, covered with antigens. Some viruses are more complex, and have a helix structure with 'off shoots', similar to a luna ...

viruses: Encyclopedia - Virus classification

Viruses can be classified in several ways, such as by their geometry, by whether they have envelopes, by the identity of the host organism they can infect, by mode of transmission, or by the type of disease they cause. The most useful classification is probably by the type of nucleic acid the virus contains and its mode of expression. This classification was proposed by Nobel-prize winner David Baltimore. It should be noted that none of these classifications are expected to be phylogenetic, as viruses may not share a common origin. Including:

viruses: Encyclopedia - Computer virus

In computer security technology, a virus is a self-replicating program that spreads by inserting copies of itself into other executable code or documents. A computer virus behaves in a way similar to a biological virus, which spreads by inserting itself into living cells. Extending the analogy, the insertion of a virus into the program is termed as an infection, and the infected file (or executable code that is not part of a file) is called a host. Viruses are one of the several types of malicious software or malware. In ...

viruses: Encyclopedia - Organism

In biology and ecology, an organism (in Greek organon = instrument) is a complex adaptive system of organs that influence each other in such a way that they function as a more or less stable whole and have properties of life. The origin of life and the relationships between its major lineages are controversial. Two main grades may be distinguished, the prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The prokaryotes are generally considered to represent two separate domains, called the Bacteria and Archaea, which are not closer to one anothe ...

viruses: Encyclopedia - Antigenic shift

Antigenic shift is the process by which two different strains of influenza combine to form a new subtype having a mixture of the surface antigens of the two original strains. The term antigenic shift is specific to the influenza literature; in other viral systems, the same process is called reassortment or viral shift. Antigenic shift is contrasted with antigenic drift, which is the natural mutation over time of known strains of influenza (or other things, in a more general sense) to evade the immune system. Antigenic dr ...

viruses: Encyclopedia - Biological hazard

Biohazard is a shorthand term for "biological hazard". It refers to biological substances that pose a threat to (primarily) human health. This can include medical waste, samples of a microoganism, virus or toxin (from a biological source) that can affect humans, and so forth. It is generally used as a warning, so that those potentially exposed to the substances will know to take precautions. It can also include substances harmful to animals. There is also a biohazard HCS/WHMIS logo which utilizes the same symbol. In Unicode, the biohazard sign is U+2623 (☣). Graphic novelist Mitchell Vega u ...

viruses: Encyclopedia - Virus

A virus is a microscopic parasite that infects cells in biological organisms. Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites; they can reproduce only by invading and controlling other cells as they lack the cellular machinery for self-reproduction. The term virus usually refers to those particles that infect eukaryotes (multi-celled organisms and many single-celled organisms), while the term bacteriophage or phage is used to describe those infecting prokaryotes (bacteria and bacteria-like organisms lacking a nucleus ...

viruses: Encyclopedia - Anti-virus software

Anti-virus software consists of computer programs that attempt to identify, thwart and eliminate computer viruses and other malicious software (malware). Anti-virus software typically uses two different techniques to accomplish this: Examining (scanning) files to look for known viruses matching definitions in a virus dictionary Identifying suspicious behavior from any computer program which might indicate infection. Such analysis may include data captures, port monitoring and other methods. Most commercial anti-virus software uses both of these appr ...

viruses: Encyclopedia - Bliss virus

Bliss is a computer virus that infects GNU/Linux systems. It was posted on a Usenet usergroup by its author on February 5th, 1997. When executed, it attempts to attach itself to Linux executable files, which regular users do not have access to. This prevents the executables from running, so users notice it immediately. Although it was probably intended to prove that Linux can be infected, it does not propogate very effectively becaus ...

viruses: Encyclopedia - Central dogma of molecular biology

The central dogma of molecular biology was first enunciated by Francis Crick in 1958 and re-stated in a Nature paper published in 1970. The precise definition is: The central dogma of molecular biology deals with the detailed residue-by-residue transfer of sequential information. It states that such information cannot be transferred from protein to either protein or nucleic acid. In other words, ...

viruses: Encyclopedia II - Macro - Visual Basic for Applications and macro viruses

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is a programming language included in Microsoft Office and some other applications. It is not, by the above definition, a macro language at all. However, its function has evolved from and replaced the macro languages which were originally included in some of these applications so it is popularly and mistakenly called a macro language. VBA has access to most operating system functions and supports automatic execution when a document is opened. This makes it relatively easy to write computer viruses i ...

viruses: Encyclopedia II - Computer virus - Why people create computer viruses

Unlike biological viruses, computer viruses do not simply evolve by themselves, except in the cases where copying errors and recombination have led to actual evolution of computer viruses; however, these cases are very rare compared to the rapid generation of new malware by human programmers. They cannot come into existence spontaneously, nor can they be created by bugs in regular programs. They are deliberately ...

viruses: Encyclopedia II - Common misconceptions about HIV and AIDS - The distribution of AIDS cases casts doubt on HIV as the cause. Viruses are not gender-specific yet only a small proportion of AIDS cases are among women

The distribution of AIDS cases, whether in the United States or elsewhere in the world, invariably mirrors the prevalence of HIV in a population. In the United States, HIV first appeared in populations of homosexual men and injection-drug users, a majority of whom are male. Because HIV is spread primarily through sex or by the exchange of HIV-contaminated needles during intravenous drug use, it is not surprising that a majority of U.S. AIDS cases have occurred in men (U.S. Census Bureau, 1999). These behaviors also show a gender skew: ...
