SIGN.DEF created 1 September 2003
SIGN2.DEF created 2 September 2003
MACRO.DEF created 1 September 2003
DOS/Windows: 25588 viruses and 36998 Trojans
Word/Excel: 7939 viruses and Trojans
Java: 2 viruses and 121 Trojans
BAT: 2067 viruses and Trojans
IRC INI: 1173 viruses and Trojans
Script: 3609 viruses and Trojans
INF: 5 viruses and Trojans
Unix shell: 236 viruses and Trojans
Ami: 2 viruses and Trojans
WinBat: 4 viruses and Trojans
PIF: 19 viruses and Trojans
PalmOS: 4 viruses and Trojans
PHP: 10 viruses and Trojans
Unix: 259 viruses and Trojans
In addition, over 15750 viruses are identified using
generic identification, so the total number of viruses
and Trojans known to F-PROT is somewhere over 93700.
As you can see most of them are DOS/Windows type stuff, but there are several
that are on other platforms as well. I have included a small sample of the
Unix virii and trojans below, but there are many more. You can list them out
with the program and according to 'wc -l | grep -i unix' there are 506 lines.
Unix/Mircforce
Unix/Rootkit
Unix/Millen.A
Unix/BackOrifice
Unix/Adore
Unix/Rootkit
Unix/Sambaxpl.A
Unix/Flooder
Unix/Sinkslice
Unix/Glock
Unix/Winter
BTW, I don't work from FRISK, I only use their software.
