(Mac) Message-ID: <0006.8910021119.AA27772@ge.sei.cmu.edu> Date: 29 Sep 89 15:02:38 GMT Sender: Virus Discussion ListLines: 15 Approved: krvw@sei.cmu.edu We here at the University of Rochester may have discovered a new virus, or a variation on a theme. What it does is infect Macwrite and the Chooser, so that when a document is printed, Macwrite crashes. The virus changes the name to Macwight or Macwite, but this is the only clue so far. I am trying to get more data, more none is forthcoming. I will do what i can today and tommorrow, and give furthr reports. Disinfectant 1.1 doesn't work, so please email me the latest version of disinfectant to try. The sooner the better, because the Vice-Provost's office is infected, and they may lose a 75 page report for the government. (What, no backups? What do you think. Argh.)
