A virus is sometimes described as a self-replicating program, known to man and machine

Its’ nature is as it was intended.

This holds true where man and machine arerepparttar 107703 designated recipients or targets to infiltrate.

Both viruses have evolved to seek-out, infect, and propagate. . We are (as yet), unsure who mastermindedrepparttar 107704 biological version and we know some ofrepparttar 107705 masterminds behindrepparttar 107706 software version.

Had werepparttar 107708 foresight to determine such mutations, then, both would be “old hat” andrepparttar 107709 “fodder of history”.
