Danish TV (Channel 2) had a brief report on the October 13 virus in
the evening news yesterday. It has obviously emerged at the Danish
Post Giro office in Copenhagen and created a lot of panic. The report
was the usual sort of journalists' blather, basically implying that
Viruses are God's punishment for pirate copying. Still, one gets
nervous. I'll take a backup of all harddisks here at Roskilde
University just before the date (something one should do anyway ...),
I mean in our department, but what else can one do? Please advise (I'm
following the newsletter, of course) ...
