Abstract
Some modern computer systems are subject to \"infection\" of their programs by reproducing computer viruses. While it has been shown that detecting such a virus in general is an undecidable problem, there may be large classes of viruses against which effective defenses can be made. Before an examination of the defenses is possible, a more complete catalog of the capabilities of viruses is necessary in order to determine if such classes exist.
