I'm somewhat new to the world of Macs, so I hope someone can shed some
light for me.  A user recently reported a virus on their Mac SE.
Using SAM 2.0, I scanned the volumn and received the following
messages:

    Examined file 'System' in folder 'System Folder'.
    Warning!  This file contains nVIR-like resources(nVIR).
    It was last modified on 9/17/90 at 3:57 PM.

The most interesting thing is we never purchased the machine until
November and I installed the system software that came with it.
Thinking I may have an infected system disk, I scanned all 4 (v6.0.5)
disks and came up empty.  Next, I re-installed the system and scanned
the volume again--same messages.  I hope someone here can help me.
Either post to this list(as I am an avid reader, or respond directly.
Thank you.
