eng Apstrakt: S obzirom na sve veću raširenost gotovo svakodnevne primene računarskih programa, podataka ili sistema u različitim oblastima ljudskog, društvenog ili privrednog života, potrebno je obezbediti, a potom i unaprediti njihovu efikasnu, zakonitu i kvalitetnu, ne samo tehničku, već i pravnu zaštitu. Na taj način se opšta računarska bezbednost podiže na kvalitetno viši nivo. Ona je posebno ugrožena različitim protivpravnim delatnostima zloupotrebe računarskih programa, podataka ili sistema. Posebno opasan vid takve računarske zloupotrebe se javlja u obliku zlonamernog pravljenja, unošenja, distribucije ili širenja različitih vrsta računarskih virusa. Radi se o zlonamernim računarskim programima koji su napravljeni sa ciljem nanošenja štete računaru, računarskoj mreži ili računarskim podacima i koji se ubacuje u računar sa namerom ugrožavanja poverljivosti, celovitosti ili dostupnosti računarskih podataka, odnosno sa ciljem ometanja rada računara ili računarske mreže na druge načine. Krivično zakonodavstvo Srbije, kao i neka druga uporedna zakonodavstva predviđaju specifičnu inkriminaciju pravljenja ili širenja računarskih virusa, o čijim elementima, karakteristikama, oblicima ispoljavanja i sadržini govori ovaj rad. Abstract: Given the increasing prevalence of the almost daily use of computer programs, data, or systems in various spheres of human, social, and economic life, it is necessary to ensure, and subsequently improve, their effective, lawful, and high-quality protection-both technical and legal. In this way, overall computer security is raised to a qualitatively higher level. It is particularly endangered by various unlawful activities involving the misuse of computer programs, data, or systems. A particularly dangerous form of such computer misuse appears in the creation, insertion, distribution, or dissemination of different types of computer viruses. These are malicious computer programs designed to cause damage to a computer, network, or data, and are introduced into a system with the intention of compromising the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of computer data, or with the aim of disrupting the functioning of a computer or computer network in other ways. The criminal legislation of Serbia, as well as several comparative legal systems, prescribes specific incriminations for the creation or dissemination of computer viruses. This paper addresses their elements, characteristics, forms of manifestation, and substantive content.
