How Can They Be Stopped?

     It is important to understand some things about computer viruses. It is entirely true that any clever programmer can get around any protection device that another may throw up. Some get a hopeless attitude because of this, believing that viruses can never be stopped. This is not true. There are only 5 viruses in the Mac World that have obtained any wide circulation. Once a virus is written and released, it continues to circulate until all copies of it are gone. As long as someone has it on a disk somewhere, it spreads again. What this means is that new and different Mac viruses are few. All this fear and difficulty is the result of the work of only 5 demented individuals.
