	Thanks go to Brandon S. Allbury, for correctly interpreting my message.
Apologies to the rest of you for the lack of clarity, but I was rather
exercised about the condition of my hard disk, and wanted to slam a quick
blast to the net before anyone else had problems.
	As I said before, in not so clear terms:

	MandelZot reported a virus, which my tools confirmed as nVIR A.

	I am pretty sure it came from comp.sys.mac.binaries.  That is the
only place I download from.  I was unable to determine the exact source.

	The infection took place BEFORE I downloaded and ran MandelZot.

	I am still searching for the source of the infection.
