[comp.virus] Can we get a summary?

cas@mtdcb.att.com (Clifford A Stevens, Jr) (10/27/89)

I'm new to all this stuff, been on superminis for 10 or so years, so
could somebody post a summary of what a virus is, how it works (in *REAL*
general terms), and how it propogates?

Thanks!

[Ed. This is a frequently asked question; let me "answer" it by
referring you, and others who've asked, to some of the introductory
documents found on the VIRUS-L/comp.virus documentation archive sites
- - or to any of the introductory books on the subject, many of which
can be commonly found in bookstores.]

Who, me worry?!?
