Figure 3-10. McAfee VirusScan 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.
