I downloaded WindChooser 1.12 from comp.binaries.mac and installed it.  It
started fine with NeXT windows, etc.  But after looking at it via the control
panel, Vaccine (version 1.0) went off when I tried to close the control
panel window.  Even when I denied permission, strange things happened to my
screen.  As was mentioned in an earlier posting, the title bar and menu font
changed from Chicago 12 plain to some small, weird font.  In addition, the
font for the name of the disk changed to Chicago 12 plain.  If I click on
the disk icon, it changes back to normal, but if I click on the menus, it still
stays in that weird font.  Is this normal for WindChooser, or it is that
WDEF virus?  I didn't even change anything in the control panel.  I have a
512Ke, system 6.0.3, control panel 3.1, and inits: Moire, Vaccine, and REZ.
By the way, REZ didn't see anything.  Any suggestions?
