I am not sure yet, but I have been hit by a virus of some sort
and it most assuredly came through on a copy (in plastic - hey
give me a break) of WINZ.  I don't know what virus it is but
I'm getting lots of interesting behavior that I have never seen
before (slow response, low on memory messages, unexpected crashes,
can't load finder stuff, things like that).  Virus RX finds it
and throws itself in the trash, but ferrit, or interferon, cleans
it up so that Virus Rx can't see it anymore, but that is when I
get the bomb.  If there are interested, or knowledgeable persons
out there that know about this thing, I could use any assistance
I can get.  I'll post a real report as soon as possible.
