[comp.virus] nVIR

     Hello, I stumbled across the nVIR B virus the other day when a
student brought me a disk with SuperPaint2.0 that claimed it was
infectant.  I ran Disinfectant on it and cleared it up, and read the
entry on nVIR in that excellent program's help section.  It described
nVIR A and B as being able to mate and form a new strain.  How does it
do this, and what are the propert- ies of the virus thus formed?  How
many variations are possible?  It seems to me that amount of variation
must be small if the virus is to remain effective, but I'd like to
hear from the experts.  Thanks in advance...
