Evidently our institution has come of age and the powers at be have decided that an article on viruses is needed for our newsletter. I would be most grateful if those that have been through this "rite of passage" could forward their prose to me either e-mail or traditional mail. Specifically what I am looking for are works that discuss viruses, trojan horses, worms, etc ... in general; problems that such beasts have caused on other campuses; and specifically how the fixes work (i.e. do fixes insert code into the virus files to render them harmless, are they removed totally, how do various fixes find the offending code?) The article which I am writing is for a nontechnical campus computing news- letter and if any one is interested in reviewing the article before a final draft is made I would welcome the critism. Just send me your e-mail address. Thank you very much I certainly appreciate the effort. Gregory E.
