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:
“Teaching Black Studies, I find that students are quick to label a black person who has grown up in a predominantly white setting and attended similar schools as “not black enough.” ...Our concept of black experience has been too narrow and constricting.”
—bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
“Freedom is the most contagious virus known to man.”
—Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
