[comp.sys.mac] nVIR virus

dredick@vax.bbn.com (The Druid) (03/16/88)

	I am really interested in the make-up of a virus and the 
vaccination. Could someone send me or point me to a SOURCE for a sample
benign virus or vaccination!

Many Thanks,

The source to Mike Scanlin's vaccination program will appear with the article
in MacTutor ASAP.  [Written in LS C/asm]

I recently found the nVIR virus on one of my disks. I have ftp access to
sumex-aim. What should I download? What bad effects does the nVIR virus
have? How does it spread? Thanks.

Unfortunately I didn't pay too much attention for viruses so far -
but now I got one on my MacII. The virus installs a nVIR and also
a CODE Id 256 resource to applications.

My problem is that I don't know where the virus is comming from. Tracing
back the virus I found that it must have entered my Mac at least one week ago.

The source could be anywhere: Bix, CompuServe, or the mac binary news group.

Who has any idea where this type of virus could come from or has made
similar experiences?


ANY suggestions are very welcome, please send them to

  ralex@tigger.colorado.edu

I will post a summary.


   Many thanks in advance,  Alex
