NAV 2.1 can detect and disinfect it.

Cansu has the ability to permute a small number of its instructions to
make itself look different.  (12 permutations).  Once in memory, it
has a consistent memory signature.

The strain of Cansu with which we are familiar does not damage
systems.  It only has the capability to display a large V on the
screen.  This large V accounts for its aliases as V-SIGN and BigV.

I guess we can add PA/NJ to the list.  Sigh.  Previously, it had only
been seen in Europe and Southern US.
