Viruses and Malicious Code
Malicious code can do much more (and often takes advantage of the errors)
Terms like “virus” are horrible nomenclature. A virus is significantly different from its host biology (not even technically alive RNA yada yada yada)
For computers though: a virus is just code; no different from any other program, application or executable. The computer doesn't know the difference.
