CONT

Traditionnellement, les techniciens de maintenance sont une source «précieuse» en ce qui concerne les derniers jeux, les diagnostics et les logiciels similaires. Ils transportent parfois plus de disquettes que d'outils. Visitant chaque jour de cinq à dix clients, ils constituent un vecteur de propagation [des virus] important pour tout logiciel copiable.

CONT

Les virus informatiques sont de petits programmes qui se chargent à l'insu de l'utilisateur dans la mémoire de l'ordinateur et se recopient dans le corps d'autres programmes qui leur servent à nouveau de vecteur de propagation.
