[comp.virus] PC Virus Frequency List FYI

padgett%tccslr.dnet@uvs1.orl.mmc.com (Padgett Peterson) (08/02/90)

Virus Frequency List - extracted from Patricia Hoffman's VSUM9007,
July 1990 These are the viruses flagged as COMMON & NEW only. Those
flagged as Extinct, Endangered, Rare, or Mythical have been omitted.
For those interested in the complete listing, it is available from
HOMEBASE (415)988-4004 or EXCALIBUR! (415)244-0813 & I believe it is
now on SIMTEL20. From what I am seeing, the 4096 and JOSHI are going
to be much more difficult to detect and deal with than the other
rather crude strains we are used to.
