Lore

 * Viruses have an army symbol, which looks like a pink "V" made out of two close-together curves.
 * If Viruses discover that an individual they corrupted still has some or all of their memories of their past life, Viruses typically try to keep that individual away from the battlefield, and may even treat the individual as though they were still a Program or another piece of software. The individual might also be imprisoned (or tortured/interrogated depending on the type of software that the individual used to be).
 * Viruses, like many other Corruptions, construct death pits where they throw the majority of their victims when they capture a computer. The victims are held in these death pits until the Viruses want food, labor, or entertainment.
 * Viruses are said to listen to ambient metal music.

Trivia

 * There is a Restricted character called Ice Virus (Not to be confused with Vicicle). It is a blue, Standard-class, Standard-rank Virus with "ice" effects applied to it. It is a reference to old character submissions that suggested adding an "Ice Virus" to the game. A reference to "Ice Virus" character submissions can also be seen in Databrawl Hubworld, where it is categorized as a bad example of a character submission.
 * There is a Restricted character called "Laughing Virus". It is a standard Virus which uses the 2018 Virus model. Upon first glance it appears normal, however, when a player presses a voiceline key (Z,X,C,V,B,N,M) while using it, it will play a laughing audio with Virus voice effects applied to it. This is the only voiceline it has. Its in-game description reads as follows: "bruh look at this duuuuude".
 * There is an easter egg character called Bob. He is a standard-class, standard-rank Virus with an afro and various other accessories. He appears in the Hard Disco on the second floor.
 * Viruses were one of the first, base four characters to be added to Databrawl (with the other three being Malware, Programs, and Firewall Security units). They have been in the game since the game's beginning.
 * Advanced Viruses went through a tiny change. Originally, Advanced Viruses had a different eye expression when idle. They originally had an eye expression of a standard rank Virus. In a later update, their eyes were made more serious.
 * As DuncanDunclub once mentioned in a Twitter post, the Viruses' original design comes from the character "The Voice Inside Your Head", a character within the Silvagunner lore.
