However, so far it only has shown up at the University of Zurich and Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich, Switzerland. It is an exact clone of nVIR type B; the only difference being the name of the viral resource which has changed form "nVIR" to "Jude". VirusDetective 3.1 positively identifies the new virus as nVIR strain. Both Vaccine and GateKeeper successfully prevent an infection. GateKeeper will, however, let through some of the "Jude" resources, but no contagious infection results. New versions of Disinfectant (version 1.3) and other anti-viral tools should be out real soon.
