| | |  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 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 - Severe acute respiratory syndrome - Mapping the genetic code of viruses linked to SARS On April 12, 2003, scientists working around the clock at the Michael Smith Genome Sciences Centre in Vancouver, British Columbia finished mapping the genetic sequence of a coronavirus believed to be linked to SARS. The team was led by Dr. Marco Marra and worked in collaboration with the British Columbia Centre for Disease Control and the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg, Manitoba, using samples from infected patients in Toronto. The map, hailed by WHO as an important step forward in fighting SARS, is ...

| | | | 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: ...
