[comp.sys.atari.8bit] VIRUSES

THIS IS A PLEA FOR HELP!!!!!

If anybody has ANY infromation on Computer Viruses, Immunizations, etc.,
please forward the infromation.  

I am working on a senior project on computer viruses.  I would like to try
to write an immunization program, however, I cannot obtain enough information
from published literature to do so. 

How do viruses work inside the computer.  What are some present methods of 
detection?  Are there any public domain immunization programs available?
Where?  Somebody wrote in one article that one could write a virus using the
pc-dos appendices as reference...I looked this up and was not too successful...
how do I do this?...What was meant by this?  What are some infected programs
which were available?  What is the SCORES virus?  How about VirusX?, etc...
