Hi Net,
We have just had an outbreak of nVIR (pretty funny for a Medical Research
Institute), and I had some observations and questions.
1) It only appeared to infect applications and system files (system,finder)
Is that all ?
2) What does it do ?
The first I noticed was that the Mac 'binged' at me on start-up. The
files appeared reasonably ok, even though there had been disks infected
for about a month.
Mail or post, I read both.
