More than 50 of oour PC's (at the National University of MExico) have
caught this virus who alters the partition table of the hard disk,
trashes files that were to be saved, disallows booting from the hard
disk, and copies itself or generates a file called Delta<trash>.com
which is hidden and unerasable.

Does anybody knows of any vaccines against it?
