I have just calmed down after this panic, I had just downloaded
MandleZot 1hr before, but all is well. There is no sign of a virus
on the files I downloaded (I missed the first Mandlezot Document
file, is it there ? Can someone send me that file, if it's clean)
Anyway, I suggest you check else where for the source of the virus
as well.
Michael.
