Wow, thanks, my mailbox overfloweth,

  I probably should have said that I had managed to wipe out the infection
with Virex 1.2, and only wanted the information to ease my mind.

  Thanks to all those who replied.  

  For those people who wanted me to send them stuff, as there was so many
(and because it will cost me real money to mail it to you and nothing to
 post) here are the answers.

1) nVIR is NON-malicious. It only infects applications, the system and finder.
2) It will beep at you 1 time in 16, and if you have Macintalk say "Don't
   Panic."

Again thanks very much.
