Malicious computer program (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

virus

(Other definitions for virus that I've seen before include "Disease carrier or computer bug" , "Corrupting influence" , "Organism causing disease, or malicious program in computer" , "Malicious code" , "Ultramicroscopic infectious agent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
