Dear Fellow Information Highway Travellers,

Dr. Urs Gattiker and I are looking for information about computer
viruses that are widespread in Canada.  This information will be
presented at the Eicar Conference '95 in being held in Switzerland in November, where
Dr.  Gattiker will be representing Canada.  The intent of the conference
is to discuss methods to reduce the effects of computer viruses now
present in the wild. 

We would appreciate any information or sources of information you
could supply to us.  We are specifically looking for the following:

A)  -names of computer viruses which are presently widespread in
       Canada
      -how these viruses were distributed

B) -information on the present threat of computer viruses in Canada. 
       Is it low or high, and what actions are being taken to reduce
       this threat (please provide us with specific examples, description of
       incidences if you can)?

Once completed (November, 1995), a summary of information we have collected will be
available for viewing and downloading from the Centre for Technology Studies WWW 
page at the following URL:

http://www.mngt.uleth.ca/deprtmnt/tech/tech.htm

Please email any information to myself, or to Dr. Gattiker.  Thank
you very much in advance for your assistance in making this project
successful.

Yours truly,

Dr. Urs Gattiker (gattiker@cetus.mngt.uleth.ca)
