[comp.virus] A book with a long title...

dmg@retina.mitre.org (David Gursky) (09/26/89)

John McAfee has just published a book on viruses entitled: "Computer
Viruses, Worms, Data Diddlers, Killer Programs, and other Threats To
Your System: What The Are, How They Work, and How to Defend Your PC or
Mainframe Environment" (By McAfee and Colin Hayes, from St. Martin
Press -- $24.95 hardback, $16.95 softback).

My questions about the propriety of calling Viruscan "shareware"
aside, I've had a copy of the book set aside and I'm picking it up
tonight.  John's work in this area is well-known, and I anxiously look
forward to reading this (but at 350 pp, don't count on hearing any
comments from me soon about it!)

And would someone from Homebase *please* ask John to make the title of
his next book shorter!  <Grin>
