The attached warning was distributed within US-SPRINT.  I make
no claims as to whether it is well founded.  I checked my December
release of the NSE and found no sign of virus (not on the release
diskettes, the PC used for the installation, or on any files on
the fileserver)... I used FPROT version 2.01 for the virus scan.

I X'd out all of the corporate phone numbers and human names since
they are not relevant to this posting.

I hope none of you have infected diskettes either.

Happy holidays!

VIRUS INFECTED DISKETTES DISTRIBUTED BY NOVELL, INC.
  
     On December 17, 1991. the Department of Energy (DOE) 
forwarded a Computer Incident Advisory Capability (CIAC) Notice 
that Novell, Inc. has inadvertently distributed virus infected 
diskettes to Novell Netware customers.  The Novell diskettes 
labelled "Network Support Encyclopedia - Standard Volume Update", 
with Novell part number of 883-001495-004, were distributed from 
December 9 through 16, 1991.
  
     These diskettes have been infected with the DOS-based 
Stoned-3 virus which infects the boot sector of a hard disk or 
diskette.  DO NOT LOAD THESE DISKETTES ON YOUR SYSTEM.
  
     If you have already loaded these diskettes on your system, 
then you should consider the system infected.  Discontinue using 
the system until you report this incident to EUS at (XXX) 
XXX-XXXX and Corporate Security at (XXX) XXX-XXXX.  
  
     A virus infection is one reason why regular back-ups are 
necessary.  Without an up-to-date back-up the ability to recover 
with a minimal loss (since last back-up) of information is not 
possible.  
  
     Contact XXX XXXXXXXX, Director of Information Security, at 
(XXX) XXX-XXXX if you have received these diskettes or when you 
do receive them.
