Do you think computer viruses should count as life ?software

Oh crud - so depressing and so true. Especially the malware bots which are a total menace and really do have a life of their own - not to mention zombie net! - gheezh. I used to check out new computer security software and procedures once a year to defend myself online - now I do this once a month and I'm still barely keeping up. I guess this applies to biological weapons too. Some people suspect that AIDs may be a man-made disease that escaped from the lab due to improper procedures - or was even deliberately released. What is wrong with us? All that skill and intelligence - and this is what people choose to do with it.

dont misunderstood about computer viruses.

A computer virus is a computer program that can copy itself and infect a computer without permission or knowledge of the user.
