I don't know... Are the confines of nature, i.e. physical law, and the confines of programming that different in the end? The search space may be larger and thus it makes sense to use a different optimization strategy, but in the end both cases just follow a relatively simple program to achieve their goal.

The obvious difference is that a simple biological virus is arguably much more effective at exploring it's environment and adapting to it in order to survive, grow and expand.
