trojan problem

[Richard Colbert Jr]

Just to clear the record. The first computer virus to appear in the wild
(outside the lab where it was created) was "Brain".

Quote from Wikipedia: (c)Brain (the industry standard name being Brain) is a
1986 computer virus that infects DOS File Allocation Table file systems.

machines being Sun systems running Solaris.  That's about as far from
Wintel as you can get.

It started in the Unix world.  It's not a hard port.
