Abstract Software architecture plays an important role in the achievement of particular qualities we want to see in our software under development. On the other hand specific software demands some distinct qualities in software architecture. Now question arises how software architecture becomes the base to achieve the certain qualities and how qualities influence the architecture. Architecture provides the base for the development of the core product so by inspecting the architecture we can predict

It jumps from machine to machine‚ using the unpredictable patterns of software sharing among the users. Clearly‚ it can easily reach systems on which it is not wanted or on which it would be incompatible with the environment and would cause unintentional damage. It is not possible for the virus writer to predict on which systems

for a means of survival. Similarly‚ both enter their hosts passively. Biological hosts are infected by breathing‚ ingestion‚ or direct contact while infected software‚ email attachments and transfers infect the cyber host. Another notable similarity is the fact that both computer and biological viruses need the proper host as well as software and tissue specificity to reproduce efficiently. Computer viruses spread by inserting copies of itself in executable code and documents. Computer viruses can
