The following new virus infections were reported recently:

- - First sighting of Slow (PC) virus reported in Australia.  Major
  infection path so far seems to be Taiwan -> Hong Kong -> Phillipines
  -> Malaysia -> New Zealand -> Australia.

- - Joshi (PC) virus reported in Lakeland Florida area.

- - 4096 (PC) virus reported in Spokane/Seattle Washington area.
  Several sites hit.

These sightings were reported to me; they are in addition to the other
reports that have appeared on VALERT-L and/or VIRUS-L.  When possible,
I have phoned at least one contact in the area to verify the
sightings.
