Yes, you can embed an interpreter to your virus but your resulting virus will be heavier and a little clunky… let’s be clear, to write a virus probably other languages that can work to a lower level and that can be compiled are probably a better choice and that’s why in the old days it was very common to see viruses written in C or Assembly. It’s an interpreted language and so it needs an interpreter to be executed. Moreover, to write a computer virus, probably Python is not the best choice at all. Moreover, modern operative systems are more secure and less prone to be infected than MS-DOS or Windows 95 were (sorry Microsoft…) and people are more aware of the risk of malware in general. Let’s start by saying that viruses are a little bit anachronistic in 2021… nowadays other kinds of malware (like worms for example) are far more common than viruses. I was relaxing on a beach during my summer leave when I received a mail from a reader that asked me if it is technically possible to write a virus using Python.
