Two good books are: "Computer Viruses:a High-Tech Disease" by Ralf Burger, Abacus Software. [contains examples!!] and "Computer Viruses" by Ralph Roberts, COMPUTE! Publications Inc. The "real scoop" from the first few victims can be found in the April 89 issue of Computers & Security. Also IBM has a free publication called "Coping with Computer Viruses and Related Problems" which may be ordered from IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center, Distribution Services F-11 Stormytown, Box 218, Yorktown Heights, NY 10598. It's difficult to give a comprehensive list because there's a new article or book out almost every day. Good luck and happy reading. * Emily H. Lonsford * MITRE - Houston W123 (713) 333-0922 [Ed. As Emily points out, Ralf Burger's book contains, for better or for worse, source code examples of several viruses. This was a topic of discussion here on VIRUS-L some time back - most people seemed shocked that such a book would ever be published. Indeed, the book is readily available at bookstores as well as from the publisher.]
