Fast infector

Fast infector

Fast infector viruses, when active in memory, infect not only executed programs, but also other programmes that are open at the same time. Thus, running an application, such as anti-virus software, which opens many programmes but does not execute them, can result in all programmes becoming infected. Also see: slow infector.
