In fiction, anyone can write a computer virus overnight. While physicists might be more skilled to do so, even journalists demonstrate the skills to write computer viruses that can wipe out a complete technologically advanced alien fleet within minutes. There's no need to find a vulnerability in the system to exploit, no need for a development environment, heck you don't even need to know if the alien computers use ones and zeros (maybe they use threes, tens and tomatoes). Just to clear things up: Computer viruses exploit security holes/vulnerabilities specific to certain programs — preferably server programs, so you can do a remote attack. In order to discover and exploit such holes, you need to study the software in question — a pretty difficult thing to do if you don't have the source code, access to a copy of the target system allowing you to run a selection of penetration testing tools against it (doing so on the real target may well alert its owners that some dirty work is afoot), or at the very least access to the executable file. More commonly, a virus author waits until a security update by the software developer uncovers a security hole in the program. If you are fast, you can act then and write a virus. Most users are lazy with updates (or company policies might get in the way), allowing the virus to spread to versions of the program missing the security update. But in order to write a virus, even if you know the security hole, you need advanced knowledge about programming, and that knowledge is the sole domain of computer science students and complete nerds that have been teaching themselves programming since the age of six. Writing and testing a virus so it works the way you want and doesn't get detected prematurely might take a bit longer than an overnight hacking session. (Well, there are exceptionally skilled long trained hackers who might indeed be able to do this.) In any case you definitely need the following things in order to complete this task: A compiler or assembler (not needed for scripts) that generates code for the target system. The software with the security hole in order to test your virus. The target hardware on which the virus shall be executed. Profound knowledge in computer science (being a programmer for a living). Having said this, there are virus building kits, built by (groups of) black hat hackers as per the above description, allowing essentially anyone with nefarious purposes, capable of wielding a mouse, and only little if any knowledge of the target system (usually called "script kiddies") to whip up a virus, worm or Trojan horse in a relatively limited time. The resulting malware is generally meant to work against known security weaknesses in widely-used programs or operating systems, on the basis that someone, somewhere will not yet have his system patched, and the larger the installed base, the higher the number of unpatched systems and the higher the chance of getting a sufficiently large number of them infected (a measurement of the success of a virus). But even those kits require getting familiar with their workings, just like any other computer program, and they will certainly work no better against the command and control systems of an invading alien fleet than throwing toothpicks at them. Furthermore, the term "virus" technically only refers to a program that infects other programs or files. If it just infects other machines without attaching itself to programs, it's a worm, and if it's a malicious program that does the damage itself without infecting files first, it's a Trojan horse. No matter what the type of malware, media will typically refer to it as a virus. Also important to note, not all viruses are malicious, some are benign that cause your computer no damage and simply exist to spread bad jokes, messages or troll you. Even reportedly, malware actually making your system more secure and less vulnerable to flaws and back-doors, owing to the efforts of white-hats using conventional malware delivery vehicles to send out beneficial payloads. |

Adventure Time: "A Glitch is a Glitch" has Ice King upload a virus to the Universal Source Code of Ooo, deleting everything so that he and Princess Bubblegum are the last two people in the universe. The virus looks like a glitchy Ice King head with cursor arrows for eyebrows, and it physically eats bits of code. Finn and Jake defeat it by grossing it out and causing it to throw up the code. | |

In PartnerShip Polyon manufactures a superior "chip" that's rapidly adopted across Central space and put into everything from prosthetics to the systems of Living Ships. There's a virus on them that can do anything Polyon wants them to do after he activates it - spread and corrupt data, transmit itself into untouched systems, scramble sensor input, let him remote control prosthetic function - and with which he wants to conquer known space. Fortunately, he's arrested a few years before his plans are complete, and when he activates the virus he's in Singularity, so the other chips aren't activated and the virus can't spread. | |

The backstory of the .hack games involves a powerful virus called "Pluto's Kiss" being released on the web on Christmas' eve of 2005. It caused every computer and system connected to the Internet to crash simultaneously, causing a previously unseen amount of damage around the globe. The web itself was destroyed in the attack and all the info within was lost forever. In the aftermath, the Internet went back to the ARPANET days and it took years to become available to the public again. During the investigation, it was discovered that one Operative System was immune to not only Pluto's Kiss but to all other known virus. Once the web became public again, said OS developed by ALTIMIT Company became by law the default OS in an all-new computer in order to prevent another Pluto's Kiss. Then CC Corp launched "The World", the first MMORPG available post-crash, triggering the events of the franchise. | |

Most of Galerians is spent looking for a Lilia, a Living MacGuffin with a computer virus stored in her head. Known simply as the Virus Program, it was created as a failsafe against an A.I. that was starting to go off the rails. The protagonist, Rion, has a complementary activator program stored in his head, so Lilia and Rion must be united in order to destroy the A.I. after it develops delusions of godhood. | |

In Independence Day a computer genius from MIT writes a computer virus overnight that wipes out the defense shield of the attacking (and technologically superior) alien fleet. A lot of people found it implausible that a human computer could interface with alien technology and that the virus just happens to be compatible with the alien system. A deleted scene would have shown the guy studying the aliens' computer system in a crashed ship. It's also implied that human technology has been largely reverse-engineered from alien tech. The aliens were also established to be using Earth's satellites to relay messages, so their systems must have been compatible to some degree. He also assumes that the aliens would figure out the virus within a few minutes and counter it, which is why part of the plan involved blowing up the mothership from the inside with a nuke. Having their command center wiped out would sow huge amounts of confusion among the alien attackers, preventing them from concentrating on the virus and delaying action on their part. |

The titular setting of Robot City is built from a substance that can build and reshape into anything, when programmed by the central computer. When the game starts, however, you're accused by the robots for murdering another visitor, Dr. David Poole, and the city is rapidly changing as you move around looking for clues. Poole's scattered journal reveals that he coded a virus that was meant to destabilize the city's materials, and after you clear your name, you have to upload the virus' data to the computer so that it can write a working antivirus. | |

Powered Dada from the Ultra Series. Firstly appearing in Ultraman: The Ultimate Hero, Powered Dada is a sentient virus after absorbing human life force, hijacking computers and communication systems, and using the Internet as means to hide from humans. After WINR managed to cut the power, Dada instead manifests itself in the physical world as an actual being. The same alien returned in Ultraman Trigger: New Generation Tiga, and this time it's powerful enough to hijack cellphone signals, obliterate and shut down communication systems and cripple military defenses, resulting in GUTS Select being completely helpless against it. It also displays Contagious A.I. abilities in it's return. |

In Infinite Crisis, Batman tells Oracle to upload every computer virus on Earth to Brother Eye as a way of slowing it down. Even if Batman had Oracle so Crazy-Prepared as to have every computer virus on file and ready for launch, a) Brother Eye would be immune to most of them, as Batman created him most likely with all kinds of attacks in mind (and he was later augmented by Alexander Luthor), and b) it would be amazingly stupid to let in anything that didn't come from one of his OMACs and was of the wrong size or file type — it's not like he's torrenting on the side while he's repelling the heroes. | |

Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair features the Junko Enoshima AI, which operates as one and causes the entire plot, which all takes place inside a Matrix-like setting called the Neo World Program. She was installed into it by the protagonist's other self, Izuru Kamukura, and corrupted what was supposed to be a peaceful simulation designed to undo the cast's despair brainwashing by the original Junko Enoshima prior to The Tragedy. She further plans to use Brain Uploading to steal everyone's bodies and reincarnate into the organic world. For no real reason, she also plans to do this to the rest of the remainder of humanity despite the fact this would only intensify her boredom when her entire reason for everything she did beforehand, including causing the death of millions, was to not be bored. | |

Vinesauce streamer Joel is fond of intentionally downloading and executing these in his "Windows Destruction" streams, where he loads up Windows on a virtual machine and attempts to cripple it as much as possible. Some of his favorites include .exe files disguised as .mp3 or .avi files (this is why just about every Windows technician strongly encourages users to disable the "Hide extensions for known file types" toggle; with it enabled, "filename.mp3.exe" will simply appear as "filename.mp3") and ransomware that prevents the infected system from booting into any OS unless they obtain an unlock code from the author (which usually entails paying said author, hence the term). | |

The way the Cylons disabled the Colonial Fleet in Battlestar Galactica (2003) was often described as a Virus, though in reality, it was a backdoor that the Cylons placed during the development of a navigation program that most Colonial ships (military and civilian) used. An actual computer virus is placed on Galactica's computers when Gaeta temporarily networks them in "Scattered". It remains dormant for a few episodes and when it finally activates it acts as a Logic Bomb that causes the systems to overload. The ship is almost disabled before Sharon Agathon is able turn it back on the Cylons. |

Westworld: Present in Unbuilt Trope form way back in 1973—or alluded to, at least. The film never explains why the scarily realistic humanoid robots are malfunctioning, but the head programmer notes that the malfunctions are increasing in frequency and spreading throughout the three parks. After he uses the word "contagious", a more skeptical programmer shoots back "I must confess I find it difficult to believe in a disease of machinery." | |

In the Matrix sequels Reloaded and Revolutions, Agent Smith goes from being a program created to police the Matrix to being able to copy himself over other programs and even people after being killed by Neo at the end of the first movie. By the time of his Final Battle against Neo, he's taken over everything and everyone in the Matrix. It's quite ironic considering his "humans are a virus" rant to Morpheus earlier in the same film. | |

Unfortunately, said ships tend to get destroyed when the alien software overwrites the programs that keep things like the antimatter fuel safely contained in magnetic fields. The Enterprise's sister ship, the Yamato suffers that fate, and both the Enterprise and a Romulan warbird nearly go the same way. | |
