A multipartite virus is a computer virus that infects and spreads in multiple ways. The term was coined to describe the first viruses that included DOS executable files and PC BIOS boot sector virus code, where both parts are viral themselves. For a complete cleanup, all parts of the virus must be removed. The term was coined, as prior to the discovery of the first of these, viruses were categorized as either file infectors or boot infectors.

  • A multipartite virus is a computer virus that infects and spreads in multiple ways. The term was coined to describe the first viruses that included DOS executable files and PC BIOS boot sector virus code, where both parts are viral themselves. For a complete cleanup, all parts of the virus must be removed. The term was coined, as prior to the discovery of the first of these, viruses were categorized as either file infectors or boot infectors. Because of the multiple vectors for the spread of infection, these viruses could spread faster than a boot or file infector alone. Ghostball was the first multipartite virus, discovered by Fridrik Skulason in October 1989.
  • 跨領域病毒是一種可感染不同目標平台且可重複互相感染每個目標的電腦病毒。本詞是為了描述第一個可以感染DOS檔案與PC BIOS開機磁區的病毒，且兩部分都是交叉感染的。為了要完全清除，所有被感染的區域都要完全清除（檔案要刪除，BIOS要重設）。在本詞發明之前，所謂的電腦病毒都是擇一感染檔案磁區或開機磁區的。 鬼球病毒是第一個跨領域病毒，由Fridrik Skulason在1989年10月發現。
