VIRUS-L Digest Tuesday, 10 Jan 1989 Volume 2 : Issue 8 Today's Topics: nVIR in UK version of MS Word 4 beta (Mac) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon, 9 Jan 89 18:33 EST From: JEFF WASILKO--MEMBER OF PRINTER'S DEVILS-LOCAL #47 Subject: nVIR in UK version of MS Word 4 beta (Mac) I am forwarding this from the Mac-User list in Europe concerning a beta copy of MS Word for the Mac that is infected with the nVIR virus. I'm not sure, but I would assume that it would not affect those of us in the US. I'm just reposting this, I'm not responsible :-) - -----------------------------------Cut Here-------------------------------- Date: Mon, 9 Jan 89 19:21:24 GMT From: UDUS010@OAK.CC.KCL.AC.UK Subject: WORD 4 BETA 10 WARNING!!!! Sender: EARN Macintosh Users List I Have just received a copy of WORD 4 B10 from Text 100. It contains the nVIR virus! All UK developers or reviewers who receive Betas from Microsoft UK be warned! I7m afraid I didn't beleive what Vaccine was telling me by crashing the System when I first tried to load the program, so I removed all my CDEVS, INITS, etc. ResEdit later told me what had been going on... fortunately only ResEdit and the System & Finder files had time to get infected! Bit of a naughty one that eh?!
