A virus is a small infectious agent that replicates only inside the
living cells of other organisms.  In the context of computing however,
that definition is completely false, and if you insist upon it when
trying to talk about computers, you're only going to confuse people as
to what you mean.  Somehow, I haven't seen any biologists complaining
that computer users want to take over the meaning of virus.
