 Having read many articles on this new WDEF virus here on comp.sy.mac,  I
have the following question: Isn't there a very simple precaution against this
new virus? What I mean is:

 I guess this virus spreads because the Mac, when a window is opened, tries
to access a WDEF resource. Since this resource is in ROM and the ROM
'resource file' is opened at the lowest level, the Mac finds the WDEF in the
DeskTop file first. This will only happen in the Finder (or MultiFinder)
because when in the Finder the DeskTop file will be one of the open files.
Any other opened file will be at a higher level than the ROM and therefore
trying to open a WDEF resouce will give the resource in the DeskTop file.

 What is the order (resource) files are opened when in the Finder? The ROM
will be on the lowest level. What after that? The Finder itself or the
DeskTop file? In the latter case the WDEF problem can be solved by 
placing a valid WDEF in the Finder.

 Hmm, I guess I over-reacted, the problem might be more difficult than I
thought at first glance. When a disk is inserted the DeskTop file on it
will be the last opened and therefore the first searched in by GetResource. :(
Maybe someone could (TAIL? ;) ) patch GetResource?

 pooh.
