I just ran Inteferon 2.0 on my hard drive, and it indicated me that my
Laserwriter 5.2 and Laserprep 5.2 may have "SNEAK" virus. According to
Inteferon, SNEAK virus turns common system files into INITs. However, I am
not too sure whether I have such virus on my system. I've had that
Laserwriter for quite a long time, and there isn't any other files that are
infected by virus!
My question is: is my Laserwriter 5.2 healthy? or did I get infected by
virus, too? Or maybe Inteferon 2.0 doesn't recognize LW 5.2 very well.
Thanks in advance,
Chang Woo

The bug has been fixed. Apparently, Apple changed some resource in the printer driver stuff in order to change the icon (to look like the newer LaserWriter II machines) and it confused Interferon.
