CV_BETA             CRiS Virus Beta Testing Base.
                    In this base researchers and programmers
                    can talk about virus problems, and how they
                    are solved. or anything to do with brick walls
                    they run into. It also serves as A Virus Signature
                    Alert with the newest virus signatures that you can
                    add to your scanner.

MEMCRIS             CRiS Members Base
                    This base is for CRiS research members
                    but it is a good learning tool to see what
                    is being researched, and what the outcomes were.

CV_SEARCH           Virus Search
                    Researchers looking for viruses are posted
                    here. If another user has the virus they can
                    find a way to get the file to each other.
                    UUENCODE supported area.

CV_CHAT             Chat With Mr. Virus
                    This echo is for anyone, less experienced users
                    can express their views and thoughts of any virus
                    manner. But watch out Mr. Virus might put his
                    two pennies in there
