I recently did an anonymous ftp to a site in Finland (honest, I don't
remember which one...128.11X.XXX.XXX - I know it helps a lot, eh?) and
the file I download, arcmac.ARC, an IBM ARC dearchiver, was infected
with nVIR B.  Luckily it didn't spread.  Since I don't know the name of the
system I got it from, I hope the system adminstrator reads this.  And, 
maybe people should check their copy of arcmac.ARC.
