(PC) Message-ID: <0003.x8906291152.AA13476@spot.CC.Lehigh.EDU> Date: 14 Jul 89 14:40:31 GMT Sender: Virus Alert List Reply-To: VIRUS-L@IBM1.CC.Lehigh.EDU Lines: 18 Approved: krvw@sei.cmu.edu We were called for assistance in two virus cases today. Both seem to be caused by the same virus. Symptoms: COM Files grow by 50 Bytes Upon reboot the system will keep booting over and over again (till power off) Both incidents were not at our location so we will have to wait until paper mail will get them through to us for further tests.
