Lists of Known Viruses

[Guest guest]

Good Morning Everyone!

Hope you all had a wonderful New Year's Eve! I came across this and thought, in light of the Snow White/HaHaHa virus, I'd send this along as an F.Y.I.

The results of the research necessary to provide lists of thousands of known viruses (most of which are extinct, anyway) and the (relatively few) real virus threats can best be found on many antivirus vendors' Web sites, among them the following:

AntiViral Toolkit Prohttp://www.avp.ch/avpve/

Computer Associateshttp://www.cai.com/virusinfo/encyclopedia/

F-Securehttp://www.datafellows.com/vir-info/

McAfeehttp://vil.mcafee.com

Sophoshttp://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/analyses/

Stillerhttp://www.stiller.com/common.htm

Symantechttp://www.symantec.com/avcenter/vinfodb.html

Trendhttp://www.antivirus.com/vinfo/virusencyclo/default.asp

Virus Bulletinhttp://www.virusbtn.com/VirusInformation/

In addition, because these tips are written in advance, like a monthly magazine, not the day before, like a newspaper, the Virus Alert Tips cannot compete with the latest news bulletins, but provides readers with information of a different kind. As for the e-mails you get from friends, I will bet that most of those are virus hoaxes, which are more common than viruses. For information on hoaxes, visit these Web sites:
