The Bugsters (バグスター) are a type of computer virus and the main antagonists of Kamen Rider Ex-Aid.

Background
The Bugster virus is a variety of computer virus. Unlike most malware, the Bugster infects human beings, replicating until they take over their host's bodies, eventually causing the host to disappear and be completely taken over. The only way to treat the victim is to use the Gamer Driver to remove the Bugster from the host and destroy it before the virus completely takes over.

The spread of the virus may be triggered by stress due to the associated weakening of the immune system.

History
The first Bugster outbreak took place five years before the series. Not much is known about the incident at this time, beyond its designation as "Zero Day" and fact the prototype Gashats may have been involved with it. The CR was founded by the joint efforts of the Ministry of Health and Seito University Hospital to fight the Bugster. In the present day, the Bugster virus re-emerged. The first known victim was a boy named Sota Suyama, who was infected by the Salty Bugster. Hoping to make the boy feel better (and not realizing the severity of the condition), his doctor Emu Hojo brought him to the release of Mighty Action X, where the Bugster took over Sota's body. In the resulting chaos, Emu was able to use the Gamer Driver and become Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, removing the Salty Bugster and defeating it, saving Sota.

The next known case was Rensuke Natori. The progression of the Bugster may have been provoked by the stress of his fiancé calling off the wedding.
