	We have identified the WDEF virus here in our public complexes
here at SUNY-Binghmton.  Thanks to Disinfectant 1.4, we are already
asking all users to come to our consulting office and have their disks
checked.

	The earliest date of infection that we have noticed in our
work tonight is December 11, 1989; indicating that it spread extremely
rapidly here, possibly due to a pair of infected printing stations
that we found.

	Over the last eight hours, the number of infected disks found
has been dropping rapidly, indicating that we caught it before it got
too far.

	Many, many thanks to comp.virus for the alerts, and to John
Norstad for his quick work with Disinfectant!
