Has this been CONFIRMED to be a virus? Yes. I have received and analyzed an application infected with this virus. It is another nVIR B clone. MacMASH has been very active these days to update the existing anti-virus tools. The results so far: - Disinfectant 1.3, who now correctly detects and removes this strain - SAM 1.2 (idem) Trap watchers like Vaccine and GateKeeper don't neet to be updated for this new strain. Some disk browsers like Antipan 1.3 already detect all nVIR B clones, and therefore don't need to be updated either. - -- Danny +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Danny Schwendener, Apple Developer Services Switzerland | | AppleLink: danny.s UUCP : {cernvax,mcvax}ethz!macman | | Internet: macman@ifi.ethz.ch Voice : yodel three times | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ DISCLAIMER: These are my very own opinions.
