- Subject: Hi and Questions (request for virus info)
-
- Hello Everybody!
-
- With the VAST and GREAT knowledge out there... (I know you're
- thinking "Now what does this guy want?" so I'll save the praise and
- glory.)
-
- I am looking for information on viruses (What else?). In
- particular, known origins (IE/ What was the first virus?), popular
- methods of attack, names of people who are experts in the field, books
- on the subject, respected articles, etc.
-
- Any help you lend will be greatly appreciated.
-
- (I am looking through the archives of this list at present and
- have been querying various listservers but this is getting on my
- nerves!)
-
- Thanks in advance.

- FLUSHOT4 was a hacked version of FLUSHOT3 and a trojan horse. Ross
- Greenberg, the author of the FluShot series, then switched names to
- FluShot Plus (FSP+) to avoid confusion from the old, corrupt versions.
- Also, Ross has released versions 1.1 1.2 and 1.4 of FSP+ (he skipped
- version 1.3 out of superstition :-) ). I would suggest that you do
- not use any other version than the most current release (version 1.4),
- since there are numerous bugs in the previous releases.

- Subject: general virus query
-
- I am very curious about this VIRUS DISCUSSION LIST... I was wondering
- how do I know if the virus entered into my computer program. Is there
- a way to explain how to find how it show up on the computer? I really
- don't understand much about the virus. Can you send some information
- about the virus that can cause the computer crashed or etc? I would
- like to read that information. You may send the information to my
- computer at this station :
-
- in%"11dlarsen@Gallua.bitnet"
-
- THANK YOU.....
