It might seem harsh to criticize the accuracy of a book written at that early
stage of research into the computer virus problem.  Still, the author did have
assistance from such luminaries as Ross Greenberg, Pamela Kane, and Ray Glath--
and apparently didn't take much advantage of it.  (In fact it is amusing to
compare the interviews and articles with the real researchers to earlier
passages in the book.  Spot the contradictions!)
 
The interviews are probably the most interesting part of the book at this late
date.  That, and the lists of "reviews" of software that doesn't exist anymore.
