 Several sites have reported instances of a new Macintosh virus on their 
systems.  This virus spreads to application programs and the system 
file.  Its only explicit action, other than spreading, is to rename the 
hard disk to "Trent Saburo" if the system is restarted on October 31 of 
any year.  However, the virus changes several internal code pointers 
that may be set by various extensions and updates.  This may lead to 
system failures, failures of applications to run correctly, and other 
problems.  Under some conditions the virus may cause the system to 
crash.
 
 The virus detected by some virus protection programs on some Macintosh 
machines (but no anti-virus program released prior to this date 
specifically recognizes this virus).  This behavior depends on the 
nature of the hardware and software configuration of the infected 
machine.
