VIRUS CHARACTERISTICS LIST V66
Copyright 1989, McAfee Associates
408 988 3832
The following list outlines the major characteristics of the known
IBM PC and compatible virus strains identified by SCAN. Beginning with
version 63 of the list, we are including the number of known varieties
of each strain. This number is listed in parenthesis beside the name
of the strain. The total number of known viruses are summed at the
end of the list. For version 66, and above, the Clean-Up virus I.D.
code has been added in brackets. This was added to facilitate the use
of SCAN shells and on-line virus help programs such as Virus Rescue.
A column for "Stealth' viruses has also been added.
