[0002] The present invention relates to a composition for use in treatment and prevention of diseases caused by DNA enveloped, DNA non-enveloped, RNA enveloped, RNA non-enveloped viruses according to claim 1, a composition for use as a prophylactic according to claim 3, use of the composition as a disinfectant according to claim 6, a composition for use as a viral inhibitor according to claim 4, use of the composition as a viral inhibitor outside the body according to 10 claim 7. Background of invention: [0003] US 4402950 concerns a process and a preparation for deactivating viruses inside living human and animal 15 organisms by application of a terpene obtainable from aromatic plants by steam distillation. The terpenes cited are: black pepper oil, cinnamon flower oil, cardamon oil, linallyl acetate, cinnamic aldehyde, safrol, carvon and cis/trans citral. [0004] US 3429971 discloses a pharmaceutical composition comprising cis-2,6-di-methyl-2,6-octadiène-8-ol as the active ingredient. This medicament is effective to treat avian lymphomatosis virus strain ES4. [0005] WO 2009148280 relates to use of a diaryl hepatonoid-based compound for inhibiting virus activity. The diaryl 20 hepatonoid-based compound has excellent inhibitory effects on virus activity, so it can be used as a therapeutic agent for virus-related diseases. [0006] WO 2009148279 relates to an application for a triterpenoid- based compound for suppressing viral activity. The triterpenold-based compound is outstandingly effective in suppressing viral activity and can therefore be beneficially used as a therapeutic agent for medical conditions in which a virus is involved. 25 [0007] An extensive literature search did not find any evidence of a significant amount of 2-methyl-5-(prop-1-en-2- yl)-cyclohex-2-enone and (2E)-3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dien-1-ol together, or both in combination with other components to produce a broad spectrum antiviral effect. Summary of the invention: 30 [0008] The composition for use in treatment and prevention of diseases caused by DNA enveloped, DNA non-envel- oped, RNA enveloped, RNA non-enveloped viruses of the present invention is defined in claim 1, a composition for use as a prophylactic of the present invention is defined in claim 3, the use of the composition of the present invention as a disinfectant is defined in claim 6, a composition for use as a viral inhibitor of the present invention is defined in claim 4, 35 the use of the composition of the present invention as a viral inhibitor outside the body is defined in claim 7. [0009] The technical effect of the present invention is to prevent viruses merging with the host cell(s) by interfering with the viral lipid envelope. [0010] The technical problem to be solved is to prevent the multiplication of the viruses In animals and human beings and therefore curing diseased animals or human beings. 40 [0011] To solve the problem, the present invention provides a composition according to claim 1. [0012] It is inferred from some scientific studies that non- enveloped viruses acquire a lipid envelope from the host and as the composition of the present invention interferes with this triglyceride envelope and the envelope of enveloped viruses, it can be declared that the composition of the present invention will de- activate all types of viruses in vivo within animals or human beings. 45 [0013] Following are the most common viruses that can be de- activated with the compositions according to the present invention. As the mode of action of the invention is non-specific, the virus species and serotype is irrelevant. The person skilled in the art knows that all viruses are classified into 4 major groups consisting of DNA enveloped viruses, DNA non-enveloped viruses, RNA enveloped viruses and RNA non-enveloped viruses. 50 [0014] All compositions of the present invention are pharmaceutical compositions in a pharmaceutically effective weight percentage which can treat animal and/or human diseases. List of diseases: 55 [0015] The compositions of the present invention are used for treating and preventing a disease related to one of the above mentioned viral groups as well as on diseases selected from the non exhaustive group consisting in: (bron- cho)-pneumonia, 3 day fever exanthema, acute and chronic hepatitis, acute fever, acute gastroenteritis caused by strains such as Desert Shield Lordsdale Mexico Norwalk Hawaii Snow Mountain Southampton virus, acute gastroenteritis 3 EP 2 368 547 B1 caused by strains such as Houston/ 86 Houston/90 London 29845 Manchester Parkville Sapporo virus, acute hepatitis, acute respiratory distress syndrome, AIDS, anogenital mucosa, Argentine hemorrhagic fever, arthralgia, avian flu, Bo- livian hemorrhagic fever, Brazilian hemorrhagic fever, chickenpox, chronic hepatitis,
