    Yet another virus has been reported and sampled in the Seattle
area.  The virus is a COM, EXE and Overlay infector that increases the
size of infected files by 1644 bytes.  It activates on Sundays and
displays the message: "Today is Sunday!  Why do you work so hard?  All
work and no play make you a dull boy."  File allocation table damage
has been reported in two instances, although we could not dupliacte
the FAT problem on our test systems.
    McAfee is planning to put SCAN49 out on Tuesday.  49 will detect
this Sunday virus, the Lisbon Virus and Yuval Tal's Do Nothing virus
(He sounds pretty haggard over the phone and begins to snarl if the
words "new virus" are mentioned).
