2.11 Summary

DOS viruses were the real start of the war with antivirus vendors . As scanners detected viruses better, malicious coders worked harder and faster to make smarter bugs . There are thousands and thousands of DOS viruses and the only thing that's decreasing the risk they pose is that DOS itself is disappearing .
