From: D.Cannon@exeter.ac.uk Message-Id: <2512.9411011937@cen> To: " (SC22/WG15 Posix)" Subject: We've been bugged... Acknowledge-To: D.Cannon@Exeter.ac.uk X-Organisation: University of Exeter, IT Services X-Disclaimer: The following is a personal statement and does not reflect University of Exeter policy or agreement. Content-Type: text Content-Length: 1425 X-Charset: ASCII X-Char-Esc: 29 There's some good news, and some bad news... On returning to my home machines and plugging in the floppies I used in Whistler I found one contaminated by a virus - the 'Stoned.Manitoba' variant, to be precise. It was found and (possibly more importantly) removed by Norton Anti-Virus 3.0. My copy came with Norton Desktop for Windows, together with a version which has much the same functionality, but runs under DOS. The disk concerned had been last used by Martin Kirk, when he passed me some ZIPped files, but may have been infected before that - I think John Hill and Roger Martin are the other possible candidates. The good news is that its a boot-sector virus which doesn't seem to migrate from the floppy unless you attempt to boot from it - I hadn't, so the hard disk on my portable was clean - the chances are that only one of you has it on your system... Good luck... -- _________________________________________________________________________ David Cannon University of Exeter, IT Services Laver Building, North Park Road Systems/Network Programmer Exeter, EX4 4QE, Devon, UK Phone: +44 (0)392 263998 Fax: +44 (0)392 211630 _________________________________________________________________________
