Hi, yep the virii is plural for all the viruses. Gosh, I remember when there were just 300 of these things out. And F-Pro was free. F-Pro at the time was the BEST! Well I think it still is for DOS. A few links that may be of information to you:Does anyone know a good link to use to find free literature on how to research, disect and understand the anatomy of trojans, worms, and viri?

Trojan Horses:
Technically, Trojan horses are not viruses because they do not self-replicate (make copies of themselves). But, like a virus, a Trojan horse is “a program that performs some unexpected or unauthorized, usually malicious, actions such as displaying messages, erasing files or formatting a disk.” (Wiederin, Hoefelmeyer and Phillips). To get rid of a Trojan Horse simply delete the program from the computer.
< I just love how they say simply delete the trojan from the PC.>

I still don't really understand in depth how these all work. I know have wanted to throw the PC out the window ever since windoze has come out. Still have plain ole emulator of a windoze on my PC that is for DOS. Have had it way before widoze has ever come out, and I wish it never had. Saw the first demo of windoze at the college BBS group. I wasn't impressed. Miss the days of ASCII, DOS, BBS's.

Xevion,
Good articles guy. I especially liked the second one. Gives not only the midset of the writers, but also mentions a lot of well known virii, and how they came to be, how they were released into the wild, and what they did to the people who received them. Also provides a warning to the reader that even with, what you think to be, all safeguards in place, how simple it is for a virus/trojan to get loose, and how easy it is to take the fall for it's release even if it happened indirectly. If you folks out there have not read it yet, the Virus Underground article Xevion provided is a good read. Thanks again.

Hey guys,
The last site is really great. The info is quite something I need for my reasearch but I would really like to know how to dissect a virus. Thank you.

@Logan:
I don't think all the virus-makers are purely want to speard fear all over the world .I think in now , they make virii/trojans just wanting to gain money. Most of the modern virii force your computer go into an unwanted website(ads' sites) time and time again , and modern trojans often steal your passwords of your now-playing online games and send them to the auther ,so the auther can sell them.
I hate this very much.
