Aus den Rezensionen: ! Der chronologische Abriss uber die Entwicklung der Computer-Viren ist sehr interessant und verdeutlicht ! einmal mehr, wo der eigentliche Schwerpunkt des ! Buches liegt. Richtig nutzlich sind ! die Schlussbemerkungen. ! Zahlreich Hinweise auf Literatur und Internet-Seiten garnieren den Text. ! David Salomon schmuckt zur Auflockerung den Text mit vielen Zitaten und kurzen Hintergrundgeschichten. ! Ebenfalls auflockernd sind die vielen Aubungsaufgaben, deren Losungen am Buchende nachgeschlagen werden konnen. Das Register ist sehr umfassend, man merkt, dass der Autor sehr grossen Wert auf einen detaillierten Index legt ! (Dr. Udo Seidel, in: www.wissenschaft-online.de, 28. Dez. 2008)
