Our school has just bought the "Earth in Space" datafile pack for the Key
database by Anglia Television. On first running the program, it was found to
have infections of both the Icon and Terminator viruses! The disc was bought
through the software catalogue/distributers REM.

I have contacted Anglia, who have apologised profusely, and suspect that it
might be a problem with REM who might have accepted the disc returned from
another customer and then resold without virus checking. Either way, if you
have got the "Earth in Space" Key datafile, I suggest you check it for
viruses!!
