A program called VDU_2_0.PRG has been posted to the FILESERVers at
CANADA01 and UHUPVM1.  It is claimed that it will cure the 'Boot sector'
virus and immunize the disk from future infection with this virus.

Does anybody have any information about this virus, its mode of
infection, mechanism, symptoms or how wide-spread it may have become?

Please post replies to the net.  Most people will be interested.  /JT
