We had several people call our hotline complaining about this problem. Sofar I suspect that this is another copy-shop problem (in this case usually 10 to 12 percent of the production volume is infected) Since the magazine has a total volume of 100000 the number of infected disks can very well be 10 to 12 thousand! More as soon as get a sample!
