My machine is a Mac SE/30 with The Finder does not support CICNs or ICN8s to date. There are some inits that will do this, Color FInder or SunDesk, but it takes an init to get it to work. The ICN8 format is the one that will be supported with System 7. But no color icons in the finder until then. 2- On 03-Nov-90 in Garfield user Kathy Strong@ccwf.cc.ute writes: >>this machine at work so standard viruses seem perhaps unlikely.

The init that changed the trashcan is not a virus! That is one of the various shareware inits there are that will change the trashcan. There is also one that will make Oscar (as in Sesame Street) come out and say something when you empty the trash. PLEASE, don't confuse virus and harmless inits, that is how the bad rumors get started, that can lead the people who aren't too comfortable with computers to panic. The current version of Disinfectant is 2.3. I sudgest that anyone with questions about viruses read it, the only docs are huge, and contain a lot of useful information.
