How do you tell the difference between the various strains of nVIR? About two weeks ago, we were hit with nVIR, and I took care of it by using AntiPan and KillVirusINIT (which I downloaded from simtel20..). Now it's pretty much gone, but I'm curious. Without the aid of a disassembler, etc, (although i have RedEdit, which is how I was sure it was nVIR), how can one tell the difference betwee the various nVIR strains (and more importantly) what are their functional differences? (Some beep, some "Don't Panic" via MacinTalk, etc..) -/ Dave Caplinger /------------------+----------------------------------- Microcomputer Specialist | Internet: unocc07@zeus.unl.edu "Computing and Data Communications" | UUCP: uunet!btni!unocss!dent University of Nebraska at Omaha | Bitnet: UNOCC07@UNOMA1 Omaha, NE 68182 | or dc3a+@andrew.cmu.edu
