Has anyone else found a DOS boot sector virus that gives an eight line
message about the USA being the real "evil empire" in the "impending
war with Iraq"?  It is on several of our more public computers at U of
Alberta, and we are wondering whether it was locally written.

The virus is a "new stoned" variant, according to the F-DISINF and
F-SYSCHK programs.

Please notify myself, and also Peter Johnston.  Peter is at
usergold@mts.ucs.ualberta.ca.

Thanks,
