Book Description

This book/disk package on how to detect, combat, and exterminate computer viruses comes with a disinfectant disk. After a nontechnical discussion of viruses and their history, more technically oriented chapters offer detailed descriptions of four major types of PC viruses and information on programs to detect and clean them, and include 8086-compatible assembler code examples of virus methods and ways to counter them. The second half of the book assumes some 8086 assembler programming experience. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
