  Computer viruses have many similarities to biological viruses, and their
association may offer new perspectives and new opportunities in the effort to
tackle and even eradicate them. Evolutionary game theory has been established
as a useful tool for modeling viral behaviors. This work attempts to correlate
a well-known virus, namely Virlock, with the bacteriophage $\phi6$.
Furthermore, the paper suggests certain efficient strategies and practical ways
that may reduce infection by Virlock and similar such viruses.
