If you have read Cohen's works, there it is demonstrated well enough
that the only way to make viruses impossible for a Turing machine is
to do either one of the following: limit sharing, limit transitivity,
or limit functionality. Cohen also describes it in a more "readable"
manner in his "Short Course on Computer Viruses".
