While I realize that the bliss virus looks more like a research project
than a malicious virus, the reality is that it is out there. Because
I was concerned that some programs on my linux systems might have become
infected, I wrote a tool to determine which programs, if any, had
been infected by the bliss virus. For those who lack md5 checksums
of all their binaries, this is likely to be a useful tool. You can
obtain a copy at:

[mod: deleted "have" between "lack" and "md5". What's wrong with
"cat /tmp/.bliss"? --rew]
