I recently have heard a nasty rumor concerning a possible Trojan Horse
in the Nortan Utilities.  This trojan will erase your hard disk sometime
around the end of December, while displaying some sort of message.  The
source for this rumor is Computing News, a newsletter from the US Naval
Academy.  Does anyone have any information confirming (or debunking) this?
It is supposed to be in the commercial release, not some pirated version
floating around the boards.
