Recently we learned that a PC on campus had been infected with 
the "Yankee Doodle" virus. The PC was scanned with the
McAfee Associate's virus detection software and was confirmed
to be infected.

I removed the infected software and, according to the virus
detection software, the PC is virus free.

Question? How is the Yankee Doodle virus transmitted? Should I
          look for other symptoms?
