      I think a new MAC virus has turned up here at Penn.  A
co-worker/student gave me a disk with some papers he wanted laser
printed.  When I put the disk into my machine Gatekeeper Aid remove a
WDEF A virus then I got a message saying "GateKeeper found an "Implied
Loader 'INIT'" virus, it has been removed".  I'm glad Gatekeeper Aid
caught it!  I think mention was made of this virus a week ago.  Is
this a new virus??  What does it do??  Is it spread like WDEF A??  I'm
using Gatekeeper Aid 1.0.1.  Will/Can Disinfectant 1.6 catch this
virus.  All these questions....
