FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -The Ghostball virus is the first known multipartite virus. It is a file-infecting virus that is capable of infecting COM files and disk boot sectors. The Ghostball virus was written based on code from two different viruses. The code that infects the COM files is inspired by a modified version of the Vienna virus.

Detailed explanation-2: -Specific reassortants were shown or suggested to have a higher fitness in segmented and multipartite viruses of animals and plants, such as, for example, Influenza virus, Bluetongue virus, Tomato spotted wilt virus, Cucumber mosaic virus, and several nanoviruses [31, 33–39].

Detailed explanation-3: -A multipartite virus is a type of fast-acting malware that attacks a device’s boot sector and executable files simultaneously. Multipartite viruses are often considered more problematic than traditional computer viruses due to their ability to spread in multiple ways.

Detailed explanation-4: -Multipartite Virus uses file infectors for attacking executable files. At the same time, boot infectors are used for attacking the boot sector by the Multipartite Virus. There are various computer viruses, but most of them affect one system at a time.
