The name Concept virus refers to two different pieces of computer malware, each of which has acted as a proof of concept for a new method of propagation:
- WM.Concept (1995), the first macro virus to spread through Microsoft Word (though not the first macro virus per-se)
- Nimda (2001), named Concept Virus by its author, one of the first multi-vector Windows viruses.
Famous quotes containing the words concept and/or virus:
