The current vector for viruses is floppy disks and diskettes, not > programs. That is to say, it is the media, rather than the programs, > that are moving and being shared. That's not particularly true, I don't think. Both disk/ette based and program based viruses are spreading at the moment. The most widespread virus in the PC area is the 1813 ("Jerusalem"), which is program-based; its vector is program files (generally .EXE or .COM), not media. DC
