We discovered we have at least one Mac with the WDEF virus. The most
likely source is a disk brought here from Dartmouth by a student.
although there is another (unknown) potential source.  The virus was
discovered (and successfully removed) by Virus Detective 3.1 which we
were trying out. We did not have any indication we had a virus.  Guess
this one travels fast...
