[comp.virus] Plastique 5.21 IBM Virus Report

MANAGER@LEMOYNE.BITNET (Dan Wheeler) (03/21/91)

Several IBM PS/2 computers have been infected at Le Moyne (Syracuse,
NY) with what has been reported by IBM's VIRSCAN as the Plastique 5.21
virus (source unknown).

We're virus novices - besides removing the machines from use and
scanning other machines and disks, what should I do now before using
the infected machines?

[Ed. Follow-ups on VIRUS-L/comp.virus or private email, please.]
