Read Vernor Vinge's book A Fire Upon the Deep for a new take on the virus. His big baddie is the Blight, which behaves quite like the virus and the vampire fleets, but is a "power" not individual strains of a virus. You could also shoehorn the idea of zombies into it, because the Blight was...

Supplement Four, in regards to FUDGE, generally, your skills and stats are described on a scale of terrible to superb, and there are lots of opposed actions used to determine what happens. Here is the link where he talks about attributes and skills (scroll about half-way down)...
