We seem to have run up against what appears to be a virus at Cal Arts in our Amiga lab. I wonder if anyone else has seen this and knows anything about it. Symtoms: 1) All the .info files have mysteriously disappeared from our hard disks. It has happened on 3 of our 5 Amigas. 2) In one instance the Extras partition on one hard drive was entirely wiped out. Just that, nothing else. Other things have been disappearing in strange patterns that I haven't been able to fully track. But it does seem to be spreading. Problems started on one system and over the last week spread. The faculty member in charge of the lab begin having problems with things disappearing from his system at home. Please, if anyone has any ideas. Let me know. - Sean Schur
