[comp.virus] Virus info databases

JAN-LIEN@vera.stacken.kth.se (11/23/90)

Does anybody know if there are any (publicly reachable) databases with
virus information ?  I mean real databases, that use search commands
and keys, not a repository for various texts on the subject.  I am not
interested in commercial packages that can be bought for a pc.

The reason is that I am going to build a database for my own computer,
in swedish language, and would like to know how much work has been
done world-wide on this.  Also if there are any such projects in
preparation or progress.  Yes, I would like to copy the database if
so.  There is also possibility to create an english-language database
if there is enough interest.  At the moment I feel there is too much
information coming thru virus-l, with too little search structure.
Which means it is hard for a new-comer to use the list efficiently.  A
database could help a little.

(There is a remote possibility of setting up a database and file
 repository (like wsmr-simtel20) on a networked computer here in
 Sweden).

Any replies sent directly to me will be summarized to the list.

Thanks!      jan-lien@vera.stacken.kth.se
