It turns out, I also had a Scores Infection.  Several weeks ago, I went to
get version 1.2 of Hypercard since I hadn't gotten around to getting the
update yet.  Well, it was on the Mac //s hard disk at the store and when I
copied Hypdercard off, that disk got infected.  After copying Hypercard to
my hard disk, I didn't use it much.  Then last weekend, I noticed a lot of
bombs and applications not being able to find files (ie Red Ryder not
finding RRJ$ at startup etc) and found I was infected.  

Normally I have Vaccine on, but I had it off because I was doing a little
programming.  I believe that now I have gotten rid of it, but it did make
me waste quite a bit of time.
