Hernan" Subject: RE: CMU and the virus The virus that hit CMU was "nVIR", as named by interferon 3.1. It is apparantly the same one that hit Pitt (which is about a block and a half away) two weeks ago. Incidentally, here at Pitt we seemed to have eradicated the virus very quickly. Thanks to everyone who gave suggestions on informing users about it. They worked well, and we have seen no incidents of the virus since early last week. I know because I take classes at CMU and Pitt. (Perhaps I was the unknowing culprit!?!) Anyway, happy-virus hunting. Shawn Hernan, University of Pittsburgh -------------------- Date: Tue, 25 Oct 88 13:17:00 EDT From: Shatner and Nimoy in '92! Subject: Once more... OK, I think I've posted this message a dozen times on different groups... IF you have something to say, PLEASE specify what machine you are talking about. I'm specifically thinking of the many references we've had to anti-viral programs (like FLUSHOT) and anti-viral libraries, which NEVER mention what machine they run on. Usually you can assume this means an IBM PC, since only IBM users are arrogant enough to believe that no other machines exist. : ) -------------------- *** end of Virus-L issue ***
