(Mac) Message-ID: <0004.9003151947.AA01476@ubu.cert.sei.cmu.edu> Date: 13 Mar 90 21:20:02 GMT Sender: Virus Discussion List Lines: 10 Approved: krvw@sei.cmu.edu Well, there is no "PDEF", but there are printer drivers (files containing code) which could become infected. Also, every Laserwriter printer has a 68000 and at least a meg of memory, someone could conceivably infect that. That's all we need, a PostScript virus... (Is there a week lag in messages, or has the net been dead since 6 Mar? Perhaps a virus is chewing them all up...) [Ed. There was a problem with comp.virus distribution related to my change in email address; it is fixed now.]
