I made a mistake in my "Viral Resources" posting. nVIR DOES infect system folder files other than the System file itself (e.g., Finder and DA Handler). I was thinking of the "first prong" of the attack, when an nVIR-infected application first infects a previously clean system. Finder and DA Handle get infected during the "second prong", when the infected system starts infecting other applications and things that look like applications like the Finder and DA Handler. Scores, by the way, also has this behaviour. Sorry for the confusion. John Norstad Academic Computing and Network Services Northwestern University Bitnet: jln@nuacc Internet: jln@nuacc.acns.nwu.edu
