	Computer virus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Computer viruses cannot come into existence spontaneously, nor can they be created by bugs in regular programs.
		Resident viruses contain a replication module that is similar to the one that is employed by nonresident viruses.
		Viruses that use this technique are said to be metamorphic.

		Viruses are one of the several types of malware or malicious software.
		Some viruses spread by infecting programs stored on these disks, while others installed themselves into the disk boot sector, ensuring that they would be run when the user booted the computer from the disk.
		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.

		The spread of viruses using e-mail as their infection vector could be inhibited far more inexpensively and effectively, without the need to install additional antivirus software; if bugs in e-mail clients, which allow the unauthorized execution of code, were fixed.
		Computer users should not always run with administrator access to their own machine.
		From an epidemiological viewpoint, he was able to determine how these viruses were affecting systems within the computer (the boot-sector was affected by the Brain virus, the.com files were affected by the Lehigh virus, and both.com and.exe files were affected by the Jerusalem virus).

		The difference between a virus and a worm is that a worm operates more or less independently of other files, whereas a virus depends on hosts to spread itself.
		When computer viruses first originated, common targets were executable files that are part of application programs and the boot sectors of floppy disks.
		Computer worms are similar to viruses but are stand-alone software and thus do not require host files (or other types of host code) to spread themselves.

		A computer worm is a self-replicating computer program, similar to a computer virus.
		In addition to replication, a worm may be designed to do any number of things, such as delete files on a host system or send documents via email.
		A common payload is for a worm to install a backdoor in the infected computer, as was done by Sobig and Mydoom.

	computer virus resource page - computer viris
		In a common parlance, the term virus is often extended to refer to worms, trojan horses and other sorts of malware; however, this can confuse computer users, since viruses in the narrow sense of the word are less common than they used to be, compared to other forms of malware.
		A virus can only spread from one computer to another when its host is taken to the uninfected computer, for instance by a user sending it over a network or carrying it on a removable medium.
		But, before computers were networked together, the only way a virus would activate(excluding boot sector viruses) was by user activation, so this never was part of the definition of a virus.

	List of computer viruses (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		To aid the fight against viruses and other malware many security advisory organizations and developers of anti-virus software compile and publish lists of viruses.
		Another source of ambiguity in names is that sometimes a virus initially identified as a completely new virus is found to be a variation of an earlier known virus, in which cases it is often renamed.
		In terms of scope, there are two major variants: the list of "in-the-wild" viruses, which list viruses in active circulation, and lists of all known viruses, which also contain viruses believep not be in active circulation (also called "zoo viruses").

		The worm scans different ranges of IP addresses and connects to victims' computers primarily through TCP port 445.
		Some technology specialists have speculated that the worm writers reverse-engineered the patch to discover the vulnerability, which would open millions of computers whose operating system have not been upgraded with the security update.

		POKE commands are inherently not portable and thus they almost always will not work on any other system than the one the program was written for.
		Sometimes POKE is used as a generic term to refer to any direct manipulation of the contents of memory, rather than just via BASIC, particularly among people who learned computing on the 8-bit microcomputers of the late 70s and early 80s.
		BASIC was often the only language available on those machines, usually present on ROM, and therefore the simplest way to do machine language programming was to use BASIC as a wrapper to POKE the machine language program into memory and then jump to it.

	What is Elk Cloner? - a definition from Whatis.com - see also: first computer virus
		In 1982, Richard Skrenta, then fifteen years old, wrote the virus for the Apple II operating system, which was stored on floppy diskettes.
		When a computer booted from a floppy disk infected with Elk Cloner, the virus would start, and would subsequently copy itself to any uninfected floppy disk that was accessed.
		Because computers of that time had dual floppy disk drives, and because diskettes were often passed around among friends, the virus was frequently copied.
