Answer:

It is true that a computer virus is similar to a biological virus in some ways. Both types of viruses are able to replicate and spread to other hosts, causing harm to the host systems.

Explanation:

Like a biological virus, a computer virus is a small program that attaches itself to a legitimate program or file. When the infected program or file is run, the virus also runs and infects other files and programs on the same computer. From there it can spread to other computers through shared drives, email attachments, or other means of data transfer.

Additionally, like a biological virus, a computer virus can have various levels of severity, some of them may cause minor inconvenience to the host, while others can cause serious damage or even total system failure.

However, it is also important to note that there are key differences between the two. A computer virus is a man-made creation, while a biological virus is a naturally occurring organism. Additionally, computer viruses can be removed or countered with the help of antivirus software and other methods, while biological viruses can only be treated with vaccinations and other medical methods.

In summary, While computer viruses and biological viruses share some similarities in terms of replication and spreading, but they have different origins and ways to be treated.
