	Introduction
		Traditional methods of detecting and removing viruses, which rely upon expert analysis by humans and subsequent distribution of the cure to users, would be orders of magnitude too slow to deal with viruses that spread globally within days or hours.
		The term ``computer virus'', coined by Adleman in the early 1980's [Cohen1987], is suggestive of strong analogies between computer viruses and their biological namesakes.
		First, we will briefly describe what computer viruses are, how they replicate themselves, and why their presence in a system is undesirable.

		Computer viruses are so named because of their functional similarity to biological viruses, in that they can spread rapidly throughout a system.

	Are "Good" computer viruses still a bad idea? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Declaring some viruses as "good" and "beneficial" would just provide an excuse to the crowd of irresponsible virus writers to condone their activities and to claim that they are actually doing some kind of "research".
		Tenth, such viruses are already widely being used as examples by the virus writers when they are trying to defend their irresponsible actions and to disguise them as legitimate research - thus the idea violates the responsibility condition too.
		In this paper we listed the set of reasons why computer viruses are usually considered bad and emphasized that any self-replicating program that claims to be beneficial and non-malicious must not contradict the conditions expressed by those reasons.
