I purchased a Mozart (BTC 1820) 16-bit sound card, manufactured by Oak
Technology, Inc., at a San Francisco computer store (which will remain
nameless). One of its two driver installation disks was infected by
the NYB virus.

Both McAfee SCAN and F-PROT found an infected boot sector on that
floppy disk. The infected disk contained CD-ROM drivers. Unlike the
sound driver disk, it did not have pre-printed OEM label. Instead, it
merely had the word "Mozart" handwritten in ballpoint pen on part of a
standard address label. Because the box was not sealed, I do not know
whether the virus was shipped with the sound card or if someone had
tampered with the package. 

I identified the NYB virus before it could infect my system; someone
else might not be so fortunate. 

Scan any floppy that's been on another machine before using it on your
own!
