  At the University of Illinois we are having a major virus outbreak
  at this time. 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.
