- Herpes Viruses Association
wikify date May 2011 The Herpes Viruses Association is a patient led support group for people with herpes viruses, especially genital herpes and herpes zoster. History The Herpes Viruses Association originally the Herpes Association was founded in early 1980 in London by Sue Blanks and Carole Woddis. The charity s formal establishment was preceded by a series of self help meetings initiated by Blanks and Woddis, following an advertisement in the Women s magazine Spare Rib . The meetings enabled patients to exchange treatment advice and provide mutual emotional support. These patients went on to build an organisation that became the Herpes Viruses Association HVA . In early 1980, Sue placed an advertisement in Spare Rib, asking to meet other people with herpes . Initial contact between those who responded encouraged her to co ordinate a collaborative article that was published in Spare Rib in late 1980. A positive response to this led to the first UK herpes self help group meeting, for women only, in North London during March 1981. Over the next 18 months, there was increased media focus on genital herpes generated by the pharmaceutical company Wellcome in its marketing drive for its new anti herpes drug Zovirax aciclovir . This created the herpes stigma which exists to this day see stigma below. Members of the original group contributed to the debate Sue and Carole appeared on television ... caused by herpes simplex viruses were only treated symptomatically symptoms could be alleviated but not prevented ... of Blanks and Woddis and the birth of the Herpes Viruses Association, though it was some ... was changed from the Herpes Association to the Herpes Viruses Association in 1995, to reflect its increasing activities in providing advice for shingles patients and those affected by other herpes viruses ... is a family of viruses there are now nine identified human herpes viruses and it is normal for most ... http www.hva.org.uk Herpes Viruses Association website http www.charitycommission.gov.uk Showcharity ... more details

- Multipartite virus
Unreferenced date May 2008 A multipartite virus is a computer virus that infects and spreads in multiple ways. The term was coined to describe the first viruses that included DOS executable files and PC BIOS boot sector virus code, where both parts are viral themselves. For a complete cleanup, all parts of the virus must be removed. The term was coined, as prior to the discovery of the first of these, viruses were categorized as either file infectors or boot infectors. Because of the multiple vectors for the spread of infection, these viruses could spread faster than a boot or file infector alone. Ghostball was the first multipartite virus, discovered by Fridrik Skulason in October 1989.
