Run an Interferon 2.0 test on a volume containing the System 6.02
versions of Laser Writer and Laser Preparation.  It will diagnose that
both files are infected by a virus of type 004 such as SNEAK.  A
004-virus turns an innocent system file into an INIT so that it is run
whenever you boot the machine.  A lapse of Interferon or are the new
Laser files indeed "funny"?
