The following is a list of those viruses considered "common" as of September 1990 as extracted from Pamela Hoffman's VSUM9010. As may be seen, the list has now increased to 21 with the Stoned accounting for most of the sightings (subjective judgement) at present. In each case, the primary name is given first, followed by other names that the virus is known as (e.g. Jerusalem - 1813). I am surprised that the Brain & Ashar still make the "common" list. I would suggest that newcomers to Virus-L review available literature on these contageons prior to asking for a "dump" or reporting a "new" virus. 4096 aka Century Virus, FroDo, IDF Virus, Stealth Virus, 100 Years Virus AirCop Ashar aka Shoe_Virus, UIUC Virus Brain aka Pakistani, Pakistani Brain Cascade aka Fall, Falling Letters, 1701, 1704 Cascade-B aka Blackjack, 1704-B Dark Avenger aka Black Avenger, Eddie, Diana Den Zuk aka Search, Venezuelan Disk Killer aka Computer Ogre, Disk Ogre, Ogre Jerusalem aka PLO, Israeli, Friday 13th, Russian, 1813(COM), 1808(EXE) Jerusalem B aka Arab Star, Black Box, Black Window, Hebrew University Joshi aka Happy Birthday Joshi, Stealth Virus Korea aka LBC Boot Microbes Murphy aka Murphy-1, V1277, Stealth Virus Ohio Ping Pong-B aka Bouncing Ball Boot Stoned aka Hawaii, Marijuana, New Zealand, San Diego, Smithsonian, Stoned II aka Donald Duck Sunday Yankee Doodle aka TP44VIR, Five O'clock Virus
