We discovered the WDEF A virus on each of the five Mac computers in
our User's Area.  Two of the Macs also had nVirA.  Disinfectant 1.5
was used to successfully clean up both viruses.  We posted signs in
the User's Area and a system bulletin on our Network Server [Ed. IBM
mainframe] to notify the campus community. We had a small reoccurrance
the next day, but for now, all is well.  Other labs were notified
about the WDEF virus and given Disinfectant.  It also showed up in the
Ed Tech lab of the University.
