1. PROGRAM NOTES
----------------

VIRLIST reads McAfee's VIRLIST.TXT file and displays viruses
with selected characteristics, such as those viruses infecting
the boot sector and damaging data files.

This tool is useful to generate a subset virus list with viruses
having or not having a specified characteristic.  It may be used
to categorize different groups of viruses, or isolate some
virus symptoms from a potential virus infection.

The program provides a quick list of viruses with a specific
characteristic.  The current VIRUS CHARACTERISTICS LIST V106 (C) 1989-93
McAfee Associates is included with this software package.  Correctness of the
program and the generated list is dependent on the correctness of the 
information in McAfee's virlist file.  The author is not affiliated with
McAfee Associates, nor responsible for errors in their list.
