AcknowledgmentsI would like to thank all the members of IBM's High Integrity Computing Laboratory, particularly Steve White, Bill Arnold, Dave Chess, and Greg Sorkin, for numerous discussions about automatic virus analysis and the design of the immune system. Bill Arnold and Dave Chess invented the idea of using decoy programs. Bill Arnold implemented the decoy-infection routines and the viral-code identifier on DOS machines in the virus isolation laboratory, and invented ``kill signals'' (and coined their name). Greg Sorkin invented the algorithms that produce a concise description of a virus's method of attachment to its host.
