Computer viruses are called by this name because they are very similar to biological viruses in their effect and are transmitted from one device to another, as the infection in biological viruses is transmitted from one person to another, and not only the similarity through transmission of infection, as the biological virus is not a living organism but is part of the DNA inside protective casing.

Unlike a cell, a virus cannot reproduce, as it is not a living organism.
