i dont think so… i dont even think that real viruses are considered to be alive. they are not composed of cells… which are the building blocks of life.

viruses are not alive, bacteries are but not viruses.
viruses can’t live unless they are in someones body. they have to enter someones body(cell) then they can expand and be more and more. but not bacteries.

Virus is a living being or not is still in debate.
If your aspect is right answer me,
The mannequins deliver babies, are they alive?

There’s questions in the medical field, as well as among philosophers, about whether viruses count as a life form. And even if computer viruses were to be considered a life form, I doubt they would be given a status above biological viruses or other parasites.

But your question is interesting on several levels. Eventually, computer technology will be advanced enough that it wil be almost indistinguishable from life forms. In fact, there has been research into making computers that use RNA itself.

Of cause not .virus is tiny small exe files.

I know this may be a little OT, but I have been reading the various posts about viruses infecting computers in this forum for a while now. The more I read, the more I can’t help getting the feeling we humans have, or are on the cusp of creating a form of life.

I have included a few articles I found searching google,

Your not thinking straight.

I think you got stuck in “The Matrix”.

No as it has no form and it does not feed or feel.

maybe in the future they would be considered as artificial lifeforms
