[comp.virus] Virus lists for misc machines

scott@hsvaic.boeing.com (Scott Hinckley) (05/02/91)

If you know of/have a list of viruses affecting various machines (Mac,
IBM, AMIGA, UNIX, etc). I would be interested in getting it. I am not
looking for the code persay, merely a list of names and the machine(s)
they can infect. A description of their effects would be appreciated,
but by no means necessary for this compilation.
(I will of course post a summary)
Thank you,

The Brunnstein Computer virus Catalog would be the best place to start.
The INDEX.291 (available on cert) would give you at least the names of
viri for most micro systems, and the catalogues themselves (less widely
available) have the descriptions.
