The Subject line of the original posting has a VERY BIG mistake in it.
The virus that attacked many computers around the country does NOT
propogate over UUCP. It is quite specific to TCP/IP protocols, and
traveled over the DARPA Internet.
PLEASE, don't spread rumors without checking your facts. This virus
caused enough trouble without such help.

In an effort to clear the air of all the rumors etc: There will be a formal session at the San Diego USENIX Conference on "Virus, Worms and other UNIX Pests". We hope to have a panel discussion as part of this session. It will be on Thursday Feb 2 from 8:00 PM onward. Since we just added this session, this is all I can say at this time.
