1. Melissa -- Melissa Macro Virus
   Melissa is the name of a very successful Word macro virus that struck in March 1999. The name “Melissa” comes from the class module that contains the virus. The name is ... used in the registry flag set by the virus. It was originally posted to the alt.sex newsgroup, from where it spread far and fast.
2. Melissa
   There's no doubt that Melissa is a clever little thing. But there is equally no doubt that a serious Black Hat hacker or subversive group could have made it much worse. It was its very success that gave it away. By mailing itself to the first 50 addresses in the Address Book it became a cyber chainletter spreading at cyber speeds. One cycle would produce 50 spawnings, two cycles would generate 2500 spawnings, three would lead to 125,000, while just five cycles could potentially infect 312,500,000 computers - and more wherever the Address Book contains lists rather than individual addresses. Think of the damage that could have been done with a malicious payload.
3. Melissa -- Miscellaneous
   Michael Aptman M.D., Melissa's father and one of the founders of the Institute, published an article in the journal, Neurology, entitled "One In A Million?" It expresses his professional and personal experiences as a result of Melissa's murder.

6. Melissa -- Microsoft Word
   Melissa can spread on word processors Microsoft Word 97 and Word 2000. It can mass-mail itself from e-mail client Microsoft Outlook 97 or Outlook 98. The worm does not work on any other versions of Word, including Word 95, Microsoft Office Word 2003, Word 2004 (Mac), and Microsoft Office Word 2007, nor can it mass-mail itself via any other e-mail client, even Outlook Express or Windows Mail (Outlook Express version in Windows Vista).
7. Computer Viruses -- Software
   You should install the latest versions of anti-virus software on your desktop computer to protect it from viruses. McAfee's VirusScan is recommended for the Windows environment and Virex for the Macintosh. Both of these products are included in the UW Internet Connectivity Kit (UWICK), a cd-rom available at the University Book Store and its campus branches.
8. Computer Viruses -- E-Mail
   The latest thing in the world of computer viruses is the e-mail virus, and the Melissa virus in March 1999 was spectacular. Melissa spread in Microsoft Word documents sent via e-mail, and it worked like this:
9. Computer Hacking -- Cases
   Nine additional units will be added to a program called CHIP (Computer Hacking and Intellectual Property) that has proven successful in Northern California. That project demonstrated the benefits of a unit of prosecutors working closely with the FBI and other agencies to establish a relationship with the local high tech community and encourage them to refer cases to law enforcement. In addition, the project provides the skills and training not yet available to law enforcement on a widespread basis.
10. Tetris Attack
    The first thing to note about Tetris Attack is, no, it's not "really" a Tetris game. The origin of the game was a game released by Nintendo for Super Famicom called Panel de Pon. It was a puzzle game, featuring a bunch of assorted characters and whatnot. For the US release... it was given the Tetris name, and infused with Mario characters. It's also later seen versions with Pokemon characters, as Pokemon Puzzle League for N64 and Pokemon Puzzle Challenge for GBC. None of that is really all that important though.
