You may have a new nVIR strain (I would appreciate copies of infected
files), but =/VIR is the application signature of my Interferon
program.  This is not the first time this has come up, and in retrospect
it may have been a bad choice.

Just FYI:

=/VIR    Interferon
VIRx    Virex (early versions)
VIRy    Virex (more recent versions)
