[comp.virus] DOS Virus

I don't have much experience with "viruses" so forgive me.

Are there many problems with DOS viruses?  I have only noticed UNIX
and MAC problems.  A friend had his DOS machine fail...don't ask me
for the detail...not sure at this point.  He was out visiting
University of Arizona last week and had his application's diskette
with him.  He had copied something onto it.  It lost all sense of the
fact it had COM ports.

I wanted some generic info on DOS viruses.  Is there a good source of
information as to what is out there and what effect one should look
for?  Are there any good DOS Vaccines around?

Thanks,  --Bi((
