Virus-L and comp.virus are discussion forums which focus on computer
virus issues. More specifically, Virus-L is an electronic mailing list
and comp.virus is a USENET newsgroup. Both groups are moderated; all
submissions are sent to the moderator who decides if a submission should
be distributed to the groups. For more information, including a copy of
the posting guidelines, see the file virus-l.README, available by
anonymous FTP on corsa.ucr.edu in the pub/virus-l directory.
