4.0 out of 5 stars The basics all computer users must know., August 9, 2001

By	Charles Ashbacher "(cashbacher@yahoo.com)" (Marion, Iowa United States(cashbacher@yahoo.com)) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

As the title so aptly puts it, there is a war going on in all areas of computer usage. .... A list of common viruses is given, along with the patterns, in hexadecimal, that are used to identify the virus when a virus search is performed. A 'C'' program that will search all files for the specific patterns is included in an appendix. However, knowledge of the 'C'' language is not necessary to understand the material in the book. Other methods used to combat viruses are also described. The material is presented in such a way that any modestly competent computer user can understand it.
This book is very strongly recommended for all users of computers, whether casual or professional. ....
