VIRUS-L is a moderated, digested mail forum for discussing computer
virus issues; comp.virus is a non-digested Usenet counterpart.
Discussions are not limited to any one hardware/software platform -
diversity is welcomed. Contributions should be relevant, concise,
polite, etc. Please sign submissions with your real name. Send
contributions to VIRUS-L@IBM1.CC.LEHIGH.EDU (that's equivalent to
VIRUS-L at LEHIIBM1 for you BITNET folks). Information on accessing
anti-virus, documentation, and back-issue archives is distributed
periodically on the list. Administrative mail (comments, suggestions,
and so forth) should be sent to me at: krvw@CERT.SEI.CMU.EDU.

Subject: Anti-viral archive sites, introduction
# Introduction to the Anti-viral archives...
# Listing of 03 March 1991
This posting is the introduction to the "official" anti-viral archives
of VIRUS-L/comp.virus. With the generous cooperation of many sites
throughout the world, we are attempting to make available to all
the most recent news and programs for dealing with the virus problem.
Currently we have sites for Amiga, Apple II, Atari ST, IBMPC, Macintosh
and Unix computers, as well as sites carrying research papers and
reports of general interest.
NEW:
I am still working out the kinks in the file archiver and compression
format listing. For sure by April...
If you have general questions regarding the archives, you can send
them to this list or to me. I'll do my best to help. If you have a
submission for the archives, you can send it to me or to one of the
persons in charge of the relevant sites.
If you have any corrections to the lists, please let me know.
The files contained on the participating archive sites are provided freely
on an as-is basis.
To the best of our knowledge, all files contained in the archives are either
Public Domain, Freely Redistributable, or Shareware. If you know of one
that is not, please drop us a line and let us know. Reports of corrupt
files are also welcome.
PLEASE NOTE
The Managers of these systems, and the Maintainers of the archives, CAN NOT
and DO NOT guarantee any of these applications for any purpose. All possible
precautions have been taken to assure you of a safe repository of useful
tools.

Subject: Anti-viral archive sites, email access
# Archive access without using anonymous ftp
# Last changed 07 January 1991
To get files from the anti-viral archives, you do not need access
to anonymous ftp. (However, anonymous ftp is the preferred method.)
Below is information on accessing the archive sites using only email.
-=-
One way to get access to the archives is through the BITFTP server
at Princeton. Send a message to bitftp@pucc.princeton.edu (BITNET
address is BITFTP@PUCC) with the body of the message containing the
single word HELP. This should get you more information, and give
you access to any archive site on the internet. This service seems
to be greatly overloaded, so expect response times to be a little
slow.
-=-
You may access the archives at Heriot-Watt using email. Send a
message to info-server@cs.hw.ac.uk with the message text:
help
If you are in the U.K., then the address is info-server@uk.ac.hw.cs.
-=-
Both the AppleII and the Atari ST archives have mail servers which
provide access to their archives. You may receive automatic updates
of Macintosh anti-viral programs via email. See the individual articles
on these sites.
-=-
You may also retrieve files from the SIMTEL-20 and the INFO-MAC
archives by using one of the many mail servers which maintain
a shadow archive of these sites. Send the following message to one
of the listserv sites.
help
See the IBMPC and Macintosh articles for a complete list of servers.
