The explosive growth of corporate e-mail systems in the past three years has made e-mail one of the primary transmission means for computer viruses. The annual Computer Virus Prevalence Survey, published by the International Computer Security Association (ICSA) found that the number of computer virus victims who reported becoming infected via e-mail is growing rapidly, increasing from 9% in 1996 to 32.3% in 1998. More recently, the quick-spreading W97M_MELISSA virus that used macro code inside a Word file to automate Outlook and send e-mail messages from the unwitting recipient’s computer made headlines around the world and affected hundreds of large corporate sites.
