Recieved today from my organization;
 "investigation revealed a message in the boot sector which stated "Your PC is
stoned."  Virus detection software confirmed the presence of the "Stone" virus.
Further investigation revealed it's presence on other PCs in the area with
damage to at least one hard disk drive.  A share ware program, which produces 
SF-171s, appears to be the source of this virus."

This is a particularly insidious attack on government employees as the SF-171 is
the form used to apply for a government position and is required for all
applications and transfers.
