Network Associates Virus Information Library page The Virus Information Library has a collection of documents that give you a detailed overview of each virus that VirusScan software can detect or clean, along with information about how the virus infects and alters files, and the sorts of payloads it deploys. The site lists the most prevalent or riskiest viruses, provides a search engine you can use to search for particular virus descriptions alphabetically or by virus name, displays prevalence tables, technical documents, and white papers, and gives you access to technical data you can use to remove viruses from your system. To connect directly to the library, visit the site at: http://vil.nai.com/villib/alpha.asp You can also connect directly to the Library from the VirusScan Console -choose Virus List from the View menu in the Console window. To learn more about the Console, see Chapter 6, "Creating and Configuring Scheduled Tasks." The Library is part of the McAfee AVERT website, which you can visit at: http://www.nai.com/asp_set/anti_virus/avert/intro.asp The AVERT website has a wealth of virus-related data and software. 74 McAfee VirusScan Anti-Virus Software
