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.
