from comp.sys.mac.announce:

Symantec has released new virus definitions to detect and remove the
AutoStart 9805 worm.

Users can use the update virus definitions option inside of SAM to
directly dial into the SAM BBS to download these files. Users can
also visit Symantec's FTP site to download the latest definitions.

<ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/antivirus_definitions/s
ymantec_antivirus_macintosh/05sam98_virus_defs.sea.hqx>

Using the new virus definitions, SAM Intercept will detect the worm
whenever it is launched. The SAM Application will detect and remove
the worm from all infected volumes.
