Virus in I.B.M Mainframe

I don't know of any mainframe virii from my experience. They are out there but pretty infrequent. TrendMicro makes a virus scanner for Lotus Notes on 390 systems. take a look at:http://catless.ncl.ac.uk/Risks/20.32.html#subj7

In fact CHRISTMA EXEC worm (back in 1987) was a rather generic VM/CMS mail
exploiter; it didn't require PROFS (onepopular CMS mail client), nor as I
recall did it specifically target the PROFS address book when looking for
addresses to spam itself to. The similarities to Melissa are many: victims
would receive a CHRISTMA EXEC in the mail from someone they knew (someone whose
address book, roughly, they were in), and have to perform an explicit action
(receive and run it) to have the worm actually execute.

Happy Virus Hunting!

Sorry, can't help you.
