This is the first time I've written to the digest and I hope someone
out there has some information on my topic.  I work at the Graphics
Lab in Michigan State University's Computer Center, so we get plenty
of people coming through to use our MacII and scanner.  A fellow came
in the other day and when he inserted his disk into the Mac, the
machine locked up.  We run VACCINE, and Disinfectant 1.2.  After
restarting the machine, I checked the hard-disk and found nothing, so
I inserted his disk again (while Disinfectant was still running) and
it locked up again.
    I was wondering if anyone knew about this.  If it is some kind of
virus it could be a real nuisance.  You couldn't use the disk, or
reformat it because you couldn't put it into a machine.  The only
thing I can think of doing is using a bulk eraser.

         If anyone has anything, help me out...
