   > Discussion of the NIST virus paper...
     The paper forwards the myth that programs obtained from public sources
     (bulletin boards; public network libraries) are inheritely tainted,
     and that shareware/freeware/etc. should really be avoided.

     By the same token, the paper forwards the myth that commercially
     obtained applications are inheritly untainted.

Sounds like the committee was seated with commercial software vendors!
