The only people who think virus is a generic term are the ones who don't 
know any better and wouldn't be considered professional in my book.

The reason virus isn't a generic term is because it describes a very 
specific function and requirement of the software to be called a virus.

It's obvious to me atleast that you are someone who fixes computers and 
you might even do a good job of it, but you aren't deserving of the title 
professional. I do respect the knowledge you do have, but at this time, I 
wouldn't agree with your self assessment.
