[comp.virus] Guide to Fighting Macintosh Viruses

shull@kings.wharton.upenn.edu (Christopher E. Shull) (05/29/90)

If you are losing your voice explaining to normal people how to get
rid of and avoid viruses on their Macs, perhaps the following document
will help.  Please feel free to steal from it shamelessly ("Lesser
artists borrow, great artists steal." - Igor Stravinsky) to write
your own document, or just use it as it is.

First I include the plain, virtually unformated text of my "Guide to
Fighting Macintosh Viruses:  Instructions for the Rest of Us".  To
this I attach the PostScript version of "Guide to Fighting Macintosh
Viruses:  Instructions for the Rest of Us".   It is a three page
illustrated set of instructions on how end-user type folks can fight
Macintosh viruses.

Good luck and happy hunting.

Please consider posting this file to comp.binaries.mac for those who do not
have FTP access. Furthermore if the documents are good enough they will be
worth the largest possible dissemination.
