The WildList Organization International was established to
promote the education of the public on the threat of viruses
which are spreading In the Wild and to provide accurate,
timely and comprehensive information about In the Wild
computer viruses to both users and product developers.
We have a duty to the public, industry, and fellow workers in
this endeavor to adhere to professional standards of conduct
as we go about accomplishing this goal.
To that end, we require all reporters to agree to The
WildList Organization Code of Conduct.
