virus

The word virus can vary in meaning. In medicine, a virus is an infectious disease agent smaller than a cell usually presenting in a rod or capsule shape.  The virus contains genetic material that works by interfering with the way cells work.  The virus is resistant to antibiotic and is responsible for diseases including: AIDS, genital herpes, small pox, influenza and measles. 

In recent years the word virus has been attached to computer malware that work like a virus within the computer, interfering with the way the computer, often the registry works.   The term viral has been attached to marketing that has moved quickly or in an epidemic-like fashion on the Internet.
