Thirty Years of Malware: A Short Outline

Abstract

First, a warning: people with lively imaginations might find this chapter rather unpleasant. Because it is full of viruses, worms, and other uninvited guests such as Trojans. And yet you should deal with the various forms of malware, the unwanted software in your system and on your hard drive, rather than trying not to think about them. As a small compensation you will learn interesting things about Anna Kournikova and even enjoy a declaration of love.
