Not by the biological definition of life. Computer viruses do not respirate (or defecate) among other things..

Absolutely! Most people don't know it but there are rare cases when they can pass from computers to people. I got syphillis from my Ipod.

No, they aren't living things. They are little bits of software designed to screw up the computer.

No, a computer virus is no more than a computer program.

Nope, unless you think your computer is alive - and that is a little scary.
