• Infection mechanism - How a virus spreads, by modifying
other code to contain a (possibly altered) copy of the
virus. The exact means through which a virus spreads is
referred to as its infection vector. This doesn't have to be
unique - a virus that infects in multiple ways is called
multipartite.
• Trigger - The means of deciding whether to deliver the
payload or not.
• Payload - What the virus does, besides spread. The
payload may involve damage, either intentional or
accidental. Accidental damage may result from bugs in
the virus, encountering an unknown type of system, or
perhaps unanticipated multiple viral infections.

which it was intended.
