      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.
