This came from a colleague at work who works with our PCs.  In a
followup message she sent to me today, she indicated that a technician
seems to think it is more a problem with some flakey hardware taking a
bunch of other pieces out, and that it was just coincidence that
System 7 was going in at the same time...

If anyone else has seen anything like this, I'd be real interested in
knowing more, and passing it back to Barbara.

 Thought you might be interested in hearing about a "potential
 virus".  It has not been declared a virus by anyone at this
 point, but I always like to expect the worst until it is
 determined.

 Virus Alert:

 I just received word of a virus that was encountered during a Mac
 System 7 installation.  Both the keyboard and mouse DIED on three
 machines that just had System 7 installed on them.  The customer
 then attached a voltage meter to the ADB port of a fourth machine
 only to find a unusually high reading.  It appears the virus
 destroys chips on the mouse and keyboard.


 Suggestions:  Be cautious when installing S7.
               Be sure it is a CLEAN copy - directly from Apple or
                  from CD-ROM.


 Apple has been contacted.
