Infected are programs, both Basics and ISOs, corrupted by viral infection, specifically by the virus known as Abraxas in TRON: Evolution.
Showing a dissonance in higher cognitive functions, likely symptomatic of the affliction, their normal personalities are displaced by maniacal, violent behavior.
Infected continuously glitch at unpredictable moments, causing them to flay in violent outbursts as their circuits break apart in the progressive corruption, since it is stated that the virus inflicts "pain".
The condition seems to be irreversible and while they have not exhibited any sign of being able to pass the contagion on, cautious approach is recommended, along with prejudicial termination on contact.
Infected normally come in four forms or stages: a fast-moving but unarmored form that is relatively easy to derez, a more heavily armored (further corrupted) form, known as Infected Daemon, that is protected by a viral shield surrounding its body in a bright yellow glow, an explosive form that spews corruption behind it and bursts apart on contact with a light disc, and a final invulnerable form, known as Advanced Infected, that cannot be damaged by light disc attacks, requiring a stasis mod to be derezzed. Their bodies are pitch black in color, while their circuits -- no matter the prior hue -- change upon infection to yellow or yellow-green. The viral progression of the infection replaces their circuits into a patternless, wild complex of energy lines, slowly becoming similar to those of Abraxas by the fourth form.
