I would be circumspect in writing programs called "Virus" and posting
them on the net in so-called "hacker" newsgroups, even if it is supposed
to be (I assume) some kind of joke. It looks like you are not the original
author of the "virus" program, but can you understand what you have posted?
It's as if someone has cut-and-pasted fragments of Lisp code from
other programs, without understanding what they were copying.
This program is a lot of gibberish and does not do anything at all:
most of it is never even executed.

Sure it is.
As written, it doesn't do anything other than append itself to all the
*.lisp files in the current directory; if any of them are later loaded (or
compiled and the resulting binary loaded) they'll do the same. It's a
simple virus propagation wrapper; it's a simple matter to modify it to do
something (harmful or not) in addition to propagating itself.

I think I made a typographical error when pasting it into an
editor buffer and reformatting it so that I could actually read it.
My version of it had it setting the variable VIRUS to the source code
of a function called INFECT that took one optional arg but had no body.

I think you may have trusted the indenting too much. If I read it
correctly, the body of that function begins with a nested defun.

It spreads nicely on CMUCL, albeit with warnings about undefined
variables. Didn't you notice the EVAL call near the end?
The (second (read i)) call can have consequences not expected by
the author.

This is NG of "hackers" in sense of Eric Raymond.

I am smart enough. May be, I am even Turing-complete :)))

I do understand code before copying.

Be more attentive: the virus is in your brain now :)

Actually, he's right even though he didn't mean it. I'll give you a
hint: the program invokes undefined behavior.

Is it because top-level setq? Replace it with defvar.
