I've always liked the idea of a virus that attacks other viruses. An antivirus virus, if you will. It would infect a computer and clean out all the malware and perform a bunch of random system improvements, then delete itself without a trace. To the end user, one day their computer would suddenly start running a little better for no apparent reason.

    Y'know what talking about, mostly every antivirus acts similar to a real virus but eventually works to remove it. And need a virus that acts as an antivirus?

    That’s antiviruses for you; why is an antivirus a virus too? Because it fucking slows your pc down.

    We used to call it ccCleaner, it would optimise the shit out of your machine to the point it wouldn't boot anymore.

    IRL hypertumors don't directly help the host, hyperviruses would infect a computer using the backdoors of other viruses, disable the harmful activity to make more room for its own harmful activity and let the other viruses spread and figure out attack vectors.

    shame file format and shell attacks are probably no longer possible or that wouldn't be science fiction like this post .

    That sounds like an improved version of McAfee.

    There actually are a few viruses that do that. Like welchia
    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
    The goal of most of them is less benign and try to be the only virus controlling the insecure host.
