Prions are gone rogue, by being shaped a different way. They are uniquely different from their original protein. At the end of the day Viruses are also just normal DNA that went rogue and changed over time. The difference is that viruses can spread and mutate much more easily, so they could adapt under evolutionary mechanisms.
