- 481: Computer Viruses: Infection Vectors, and Feasibility of Complete Protection
- ... the world. A virus can gain access to a computer system via any one of four vectors: 1. Disk usage: in this case, infected files contained on a diskette (including, on occasion, diskettes supplied by software manufacturers) are loaded, and used in a previously uninfected system thus allowing the virus to spread. 2.

The most successful of the solutions are then used to develop new software that yields further solutions, and the cycle is repeated through several "generations" of answers. Evolutionary Modeling Langdon himself picked up on the work of von Neumann by attempting to design an "a-life" form on ...
