The Computer Viral Programs Tutorial
(maintained by Rob Slade)
Expanded from my seminar notes, the CVP (Computer Viral Programs)
files were
published as a weekly series on Internet and Fidonet between 1991 and
1994.
Eventually they became the basis for the book proper section of
"Robert Slade's Guide to Computer Viruses"
(and the
title was not my idea). I started the series before the
VIRUS-L FAQ was available, but the intent
was the
same: to provide newcomers with basic virus and antivirus information,
and to
answer some of the more commonly asked questions.
Portions of the history files have been collated and appear on some
virus
related Web pages, but as far as I know this is the first time the
rest have
been available on the Web. As of July 1997, these pages simply link a
number
of the original CVP files. More will be added later. Eventually I
hope to be
able to correct and update some files that need it, but for the most
part they
are still valid.
