I like all 3 but chose the version for this list because it was the first one I saw as a kid and it scared the crap out of me and still does! PG min Action, Adventure, Horror. Former United Nations employee Gerry Lane traverses the world in a race against time to stop a zombie pandemic that is toppling armies and governments and threatens to destroy humanity itself.
This wasn't a box office hit, but I enjoyed the movie. Based on the really great book by Max Brooks. How fast the infected move give the movie a very scary, I can't breath pace. R min Action, Drama, Thriller.
Army doctors struggle to find a cure for a deadly virus spreading throughout a California town that was brought to America by an African monkey. Nor is it any of Octavia E.

The funny thing is I can picture which shelf it was on in the public library.
Maybe the author's last name is in the middle of the alphabet? I don't remember the author as being well-known. I think the book cover was all words, no picture, possibly yellow.

The main characters were not trying to stop the spread, but actually trying to ensure it did spread - there were other characters opposed to it.

After convincing her to give life a chance, he learns that her scientist husband has infected her with a virus named P which is a sexually-transmitted disease that removes all aggression from those it infects. They eventually decide that it is their destiny to spread this disease among the world and thereby bring about world peace. P includes a "prommy" stage of a few weeks where the recipients are obsessed with sex and seek to spread the virus.

Though it didn't turn them into the undead, the Rage virus did override any higher cognitive brain functions and amplify bloodthirsty instinctual aggression in the human species. This resulted in countless horrifying murders and scores of others becoming infected to swell their ranks. This sci-fi classic is also one of the most frighteningly effective at detailing the severity of a viral outbreak.
The Andromeda Strain was so named due to the fact that it was extraterrestrial in origin. The microorganism in question managed to hitch a ride to Earth via a military space satellite. The virus causes quick and immediate blood clotting, which kills its victims outright or drives them to the point of suicide. A special government team is tasked with learning as much as they can about the strain before it becomes completely unmanageable and spills out into the rest of the world.
