We've recently had several viruses on our Macs, and I was just curious, if anyone could explain to me: How the most common viruses for the Mac work. ------- I don't know much about the mac file system. Where does the virus attach too? When does it spread? ------- Thanks, rog

This documentation is not only free, but it describes everything you're looking for in painful detail. Technozoids like me love it, and non-dweebs can understand it as well. --- Alex

Except that it is a very good disinfecting program it also gives information on how all currently known virusses work. Ernst. >
