The program you are referring to is likely a computer virus or malware. These malicious programs can replicate themselves and spread throughout a computer system, consuming resources and potentially causing harm to the system.
Mitosis
If reproduce means producing offspring/copies of itself, then yes. If reproduce means reproducing sexually (not asexually), then no. Bacteria reproduce through asexual reproduction -- making exact copies of themselves.
The process of arranging drawings to show how one cell can make copies of itself is called cell division. This process involves a cell replicating its genetic material and then splitting into two daughter cells, each with a complete set of genetic information.
This is the last stage and it is called viral shedding. After a virus has made many copies of itself, it usually has used up the cell resources. The host cell is now no longer useful to the virus and the cell often dies.

A worm Virus
Self-replicating would be a term that I would use. However, recursive is also a term used to describe a set of instructions within a program which repeat indefinitely or unless some condition is met.
Since viruses are nonliving they have to invade and hijack a living cells DNA to make more copies of itself. If it cannot do this it cannot make more copies of itself.
No. Resource Hacker is a legitimate program that allows you to modify the "resources" of a program or library. Irresponsible use of it can corrupt important files, but it is not in itself harmful.
A computer virus is a malware program that, when executed, replicates by inserting copies of itself (possibly modified) into other computerprograms, data files, or the boot sector of the hard drive; when this replication succeeds, the affected areas are then said to be "infected".Virus - Vital Information Resources Under Seize

Replication
The enzyme
Virus=A program that replicates by attaching itself to other programs. The infected program must be executed for a virus to run. Most of the time a system file or a program that you use occasionally.Logic Bomb=Dormant code added to software and triggered at a predetermined time or by a predetermined event.Trojan Horse=Does not need a host program to work; rather, it substitutes itself for a legit program. Likely to introduce one or more Viruses into your system. Sometimes called downloaders.Worm=Program that copies itself throughout a network or the internet without a host program. Creates problems by overloading the network as it replicates. Damaging just by their presence. Overloads memory or hard drive space by replicating repeatedly.
Replication! 1) DNA splits 2) DNA copies 3) left with 2 copies of DNA! :)
