        Updating to a new version isn’t self-propagation though. Maybe if it randomly installed itself overtop of Linux or MacOS, they’d have a point.

        It also doesn’t modify other computer programs and maliciously insert its own code into those programs or require a host program.

        So I guess maybe it doesn’t have… Any features of a virus at all.

        It just sucks.
