There is a (growing) need to find virus information when a simple
search is insufficient (no disrespect to Vernon's program) - there are
simply too many viruses to make this convenient unless you are
familiar enough with them to search the likely places first.

So I suggest a smallish index file (in DIF format, which most
people/programs can understand) *as well as* the big virus lists. The
index should be public domain and list several important attributes of
each virus, one per line. I could go into further detail if anyone
needs it.
