Howdy!
     Well it was bound to happen - why should we be any different?  We
believe we have discovered a virus in our microcomputer lab.  So far, we
have only found one contaminated diskette.  This is a MAC station disk
used for booting a MAC to work with Appleshare.  We ran VIRUS Rx and it
confirmed a user's suspicion.  The report from VIRUS Rx detected the
presence of the SCORES virus (or so it seemed to indicate).
     Has anyone else had a similar experience and could offer any ideas
on how to proceed?  At present, we are beginning to check all station disks
and offering to check any user's disks for a virus.  Next step, is
education of the users, hoping that this won't get out of hand.
     Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
