An interesting thing...for some reason (I don't think it is related to
the virus), when opening a System File with ResEdit while booted from
that same system, a large number of resources INCLUDING 'nVIR'
don't show up in the ResEdit resource list. Even stranger is the fact
that although a certain number of INIT's show up, the INIT 32 from
the virus does not show up.  It is only when booted from another disk 
that I can see the virus related resources (as well as a number of 
other resources) in that system file. Does anybody know why this is?

Anyway, check again from a separate boot disk - you may have the virus.  
I thought I was fine, but upon closer examination I found I was quite 
seriously affected.

Also, note that the nVIR virus does seem to infect the Finder, the
DA Handler, as well as normal (APPL type) applications. I don't know 
what the significance of this is as far as its ability to reproduce..
