Message-ID: <0005.8909261115.AA03941@ge.sei.cmu.edu> Date: 25 Sep 89 23:19:31 GMT Sender: Virus Discussion ListLines: 19 Approved: krvw@sei.cmu.edu John McAfee has just published a book on viruses entitled: "Computer Viruses, Worms, Data Diddlers, Killer Programs, and other Threats To Your System: What The Are, How They Work, and How to Defend Your PC or Mainframe Environment" (By McAfee and Colin Hayes, from St. Martin Press -- $24.95 hardback, $16.95 softback). My questions about the propriety of calling Viruscan "shareware" aside, I've had a copy of the book set aside and I'm picking it up tonight. John's work in this area is well-known, and I anxiously look forward to reading this (but at 350 pp, don't count on hearing any comments from me soon about it!) And would someone from Homebase *please* ask John to make the title of his next book shorter! David Gursky Member of the Technical Staff, W-143 Special Projects Department The MITRE Corporation
