<p>Aus den Rezensionen: <p><p> Der chronologische Abriss ber die Entwicklung der Computer-Viren ist sehr interessant und verdeutlicht einmal mehr, wo der eigentliche Schwerpunkt des Buches liegt. Richtig n tzlich sind die Schlussbemerkungen. Zahlreich Hinweise auf Literatur und Internet-Seiten garnieren den Text. David Salomon schm ckt zur Auflockerung den Text mit vielen Zitaten und kurzen Hintergrundgeschichten. Ebenfalls auflockernd sind die vielen bungsaufgaben, deren L sungen am Buchende nachgeschlagen werden k nnen. Das Register ist sehr umfassend, man merkt, dass der Autor sehr gro en Wert auf einen detaillierten Index legt (Dr. Udo Seidel, in: www.wissenschaft-online.de, 28. Dez. 2008)
