Where can I get information on Apple II viruses? Are then targeted
at the IIgs only, or are there viruses that will infect ProDOS 8
and DOS 3.3 disks or files? (I'm especially interested in these,
since I don't have a IIgs.) What are the standard anti-virus tools
for each OS? Can I get Apple II virus source or object code somewhere 
on the net (not very likely, I suppose).

I realize that viruses are a taboo subject in some circles.
No flames please: I have no intention of writing a new virus.
I'm just curious. I've seen the source code for a number of
MS-DOS viruses and I'd like to compare them to Apple viruses.
