Finally, it proposes four guidelines for computer security based on analogies to the human immune system: data protection, detection of anomalous behavior, isolation of infected systems, and development of adaptive security systems.
A computer virus is a malicious program that can copy itself and infect computers without permission. It spreads by inserting its code into other files and programs that are then transferred to other computers. Viruses can damage systems by deleting files or reformatting hard drives. Anti-virus software detects viruses by scanning files and memory against a database of known virus signatures and behaviors to identify and remove infections. If a virus infects a system, complete operating system reinstallation may be required after attempts to remove it with anti-virus software fail.
A distributed approach against computer viruses inspired by the immune systemUltraUploader
This document proposes a distributed approach to combating computer viruses that is inspired by the biological immune system. The system consists of an immunity-based system and a recovery system. The immunity-based system detects viruses by comparing file information ("self" data) stored in a database to the current files, and neutralizes infected files by overwriting them with the stored self data. The recovery system recovers infected files by copying clean files from uninfected computers on the local network. A prototype was implemented using Java and tested against some existing viruses.

A computer virus is a program that can spread across computers without the user's knowledge by copying itself. Viruses can harm computers by deleting files or displaying irritating messages. There are different types of viruses like boot sector viruses, file viruses, macro viruses, worms, and trojans. Email attachments are a common way viruses spread between computers. While visiting websites poses less risk than opening unknown files, malware like backdoor trojans accessed through websites can still infect computers.
Viruses are infectious programs that spread by attaching copies of themselves to other executable programs. They consist of reproduction, trigger, and action mechanisms. Benign viruses are used for maintenance and compression. Trojan horses are programs with hidden functionality, such as secretly capturing passwords. They can be encrypted or scattered in code, making them difficult to detect. Common types include remote access, data sending, and destructive Trojans. Trojan horses harm networks by consuming bandwidth and can erase, encrypt, or corrupt files on infected computers. Computer worms are self-replicating programs that send themselves to other nodes on a network without user intervention, unlike viruses which infect existing programs. Worms always harm networks.
