Message-ID: <0009.8912041650.AA03793@ge.sei.cmu.edu> Date: 2 Dec 89 22:06:25 GMT Sender: Virus Discussion List Lines: 10 Approved: krvw@sei.cmu.edu I could not help but notice that the lastest version of nVIR adds new resources called "JUDE". Furthermore, the virus was reported by the folks over in Switzerland, where German is widely spoken. Jude is German for "Jew". Call me paranoid, but could there be some connection? My personal suspicion is that this clone was created by some anti-semitic group in Germany (which is unfortunately seeing a rise in anti-semitic acts, as is this country), and that the virus simply made its way into Switzerland.
