As of Friday (09-16-88) we have been plagued by a new virus nVIR. At this time most of the Mac labs w/hard drives have been infected. Now we are finding this virus as well as Sneak and Scores in offices all over the campus. The Sneak virus attacks Laser Prep,Laser Writer,and Image Writer files. This is a major problem we are having to deal with across the campus. Any information about Sneak or nVIR would be helpful. We are looking for a program that can be installed on the system to check a disk for virii every time one is inserted into the machine. Any info would be helpful.
