         ====================================================


This list is simply designed as a handy cross-reference listing to aid in
the study and classification of viruses. Data is continually being added to
the database and future versions will be released into the Public Domain on
a monthly basis or as warranted by the amount of changes that are implemented.
Future versions will be released in the VXRFmmyy.ZIP format, where "mm" and
"yy" is the month and year, respectively. Please keep in mind that there are
some viruses that are not listed here due to their unavailability for analysis,
not being outlined in other reports or the samples that we have studied do not
actually replicate. Future releases of this cross-reference will incorporate
them whenever possible. This document may be freely distributed, granted that
it is done so in it's original, unaltered format.



         ====================================================


Notes -

Viruses referenced are listed by the resultant file growth. Overwriting
viruses are referenced by simply the effective length of the virus.
Comments contained within the "Type" column are generalized descriptions of
the virus characteristics. The information contained within the
Aliases/Variant column describes the entry by -

       (a) - Known aliases
       (v) - Known variants with same effective length
