Hi Net,
  We have just had an outbreak of nVIR (pretty funny for a Medical Research
Institute), and I had some observations and questions.

1) It only appeared to infect applications and system files (system,finder)
   Is that all ?

2) What does it do ?
   The first I noticed was that the Mac 'binged' at me on start-up.  The
   files appeared reasonably ok, even though there had been disks infected
   for about a month.
   
Mail or post, I read both.
