This will be a complete and ACCURATE guide to recognizing and dealing with viruses. It will be easy to understand for those new and scared and go into heavy technical detail for those who want it. In writing this I have been compiling the most accurate information I can find on viruses. But I'm looking for more. I you have information I can use, please send it to me here at ll12+@andrew.cmu.edu. Before you send me anything, however, keep in mind: I have all the posts by John Norstadd, Chris Borton and Mike Scanlin. This is EXACTLY the sort of accurate information I'm looking for. PLEASE don't send me any wild rumors, hearsay information, or speculation. I test everything I hear, and 90% of what I've heard is wrong. You will waste both of our CPU times by sending me information you can't back up. If you've done extensive analasys of Scores or nVIR (any strain), lets hear from you. And on a related note -- is it possible to copywright anything posted to a bboard, or doe it automatically become public domain? I have no qualms about posting what I've learned here, but I don't want to see it published under someone else's name a month later. thanx for your help-- Laura Lemay ll12+@andrew.cmu.edu
