They are simply incapable of performing the acrobatics required for a virus to jump from one host program to … Read more

The Functional Elements of a Virus

Every viable computer virus must have at least two basic parts, or subroutines, if it is even to be called a virus. Firstly, it must contain a search routine, which locates new files or new areas on disk which are worthwhile targets for infection.
