One of the managers here just plunked one of these "rumor" columns in front of
me.  According to this one, there exists a Mac virus that infects Microsoft
applications, that interferes with non-Microsoft applications.

Just to be on the safe side, does anyone know of concrete proof that such a
virus (yes, I know the description above is a rather broad one) exists?
