Confusion Between Real Viruses and Computer Viruses
pBack in the early days of the Internet, there was quite a confusion in the media about whether or not a computer virus was similar to the type of virus which infects live organisms. There was a time when scared and worried journalists were warning the public that they can catch colds or even more serious diseases offered their computer. Of course this is complete nonsense, because a computer virus is something which infects an operating system and is a type of software that is deliberately designed by human being to cause damage.ppComputer scientists have long theorised that pieces of erroneous or buggy code could over time involved in a sufficiently complicated operating system to become viruslike in their behaviour, following certain rules similar to the natural order of natural selection. If this is true, Im not where I, but I know that something as sophisticated as a a hrefhttpsvchostexesvirus.comsvchost.exe virusa would have the man made just simply to be out of work the way it does. I think its very unlikely that naturally occurring viruses could begin to appear in computer systems like we have today, but maybe in a few hundred years will have computer systems sophisticated and complicated enough to appear to be in the same order of magnitude as the natural echo system.p
