- I could probably write all day about common IBM viruses, and still not
- scratch the surface. The best thing to do is to grab a piece of
- anti-viral software, and read the virus information that comes with it.
- As for a good virus scanner, try F-PROT 2.06a ... It is available from
- SIMTEL20 and it's mirrors (such as oak.oakland.edu if you are unfamiliar
- with SIMTEL20) in the pub/msdos/trojan-pro directory. Filename is
- fp-206a.zip ....
