We sure can make a compound with the computer word. But we can also (these
things weren't called metaphors exactly for nothing in the old days) just the
word for virus and -- for the somnambulent -- throw in a "figurative use" tag
(pe'a-po'a on my ancient list). As for computer viruses not being viruses,
remember that viruses are scarcely more than code themselves -- a DNA stand
with minor auxiliaries, and arguably not organisms at all.
