Are they alive, or more like a virus type thing?

And where did they come from?

Questions lead to learning, learning leads to kowledge, knowledge leads to understanding, understanding leads to peace.

Last time I checked, they were cells that infected a hosts body. You have heard of Halopedia, right?

The Covenant referred to it as "the parasite" for a reason. They basically take over a thing's body and then use it for its own purposes.

Look it up on Halopedia...

They are a parasite, so they're a virus like thing. They come from another galaxy

If my memory serves me right the Flood was first discovered on board a derelict vessel.

What I think he's asking is if they're actual parasites, like the infection forms, or just a disease type of deal, like the powder, and aren't actually sentient until they take a host.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

The Flood is a parasitic life form that alters the cells of it's victim and transforms it into what ever it may need.

It has been described by the Forerunners as 'thinking muscle''.

A social hazard that must be contained in the off topic section... Oh, you mean the flood infection? Yeah this guy sounds right :)

They are alive and sentient, as witnessed by the great gravemind.

A living virus.
