The following files includes a presentation of the results of a large scale
questionnaire survey, carried out in Finland in summer 1993, investigating
knowledge of and attitudes to computer viruses and virus protection. The main
aims of the project were to examine the spread of computer viruses in Finland,
to examine virus prevention levels in organisations and to examine the damage
computer viruses have caused. The results show that computer viruses are not
rare, that they are most widespread in schools and universities, and that most
organisations could develop their protection against computer viruses.

The study was carried out by Marko Helenius at the University of Tampere and
was supervised by Pertti J„rvinen, professor of computer science. The project
was financed by LAN Vision Oy and ICL Data Oy and it was made in co-operation
with the Ministry of Finance, the Central Criminal Police, the Association
of Finnish Local Authorities and the Insurance Group Pohjola.
