Answer:

A virus is simply an infectious agent relatively small in size that multiplies only inside a host. The host can be a plant, an animal and even computer systems.

Whether it infects a system(computer) or a living organism, viruses potentially do the same thing - infect the target, and replicates itself inside the target.

Computer virus and an actual virus compare in the following ways:

i. They are both small compared to the host. Computer virus has a small size compared to the host software. Real virus has a small genome compared to the host genome.

ii. They spread. The virus in one computer can spread to other computers. In living things, the virus can spread also.

iii. Not quick to notice. When a system has been infected, it usually takes time before it becomes obvious. That might be because the virus is taking its time to replicate. The same thing applies to real virus. When a host is infected, it takes time before they notice.

iv. Harmfulness degree. Depending on the virus, the level of harmfulness varies in both a real virus and a computer virus.

There are other numerous ways in which they compare.

What are the pros and cons of MP3 audio archives?
UkoKoshka [18]
Was this in reference to literal audio archives? If so, I don't see any cons beside possible copyright infringement.

If you're talking about the codecs themselves, then I can do that.

<span>Pros:

</span>- Widespread acceptance. Supported in nearly all hardware devices, and continually adopted by newer ones.

- Faster decoding. Much more so than FLAC, Vorbis, etc.

- Relaxed licensing schedule.

<span>Cons:
</span><span>
</span>- Lower quality and efficiency than most modern codecs. (To be fair, never really noticed this one).

- Sometimes the maximum bitrate isn't enough.

- Pretty much void/unusable for high definition audio (higher than <span>48kHz).</span>
