Apparently, we have run across our first real virus. As of now, it's not
fully know what this can do or even what program is doing it but here's
a description of a file that keeps on appearing on our systems...
The file name is '800' and appears in the root directory. File size is
368K and contained in the file are text strings that contain copyright messages
for Compac Computer Corp. (no, our systems are from another manufacturer).
Twords the bottom of the file, it appears to have a questionaire pertaining to
animal laboratory research.
If anyone else knows *anything* about this, please post it...
Thanks,
