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:
“The new concept of the child as equal and the new integration of children into adult life has helped bring about a gradual but certain erosion of these boundaries that once separated the world of children from the word of adults, boundaries that allowed adults to treat children differently than they treated other adults because they understood that children are different.”
—Marie Winn (20th century)
“[If a woman athlete who had contracted the AIDS virus admitted that she] had been with one hundred or two hundred men, they’d call her a slut, and the corporations would drop her like a lead balloon.”
—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
