You're all talking and giving references of XXth century virii which infected files.
Virii today use these infection paths:

1.- Exploits on browsers/plugins while browsing infected servers.
2.- Exploits on open ports.
3.- User installing software that carries spyware or trojans.

The paths 1 & 2 are caused by non-updated vulnerable software and somebody MUST do something about that if the user doesn't care.
Path 3 can be mitigated by using an updated antivirus. An antivirus would block the "good virus" too, as it would not be required on that computer.
