A week ago one of the PC's in the chromatography department started to act up, going frequently into a re-boot. A quick check with McAffee's SCAN57 showed a massive contamination of .COM files with VIENNA A. As this PC is used only as dedicated service station, the contamination could easily be traced back to original diskettes of the software for the Shimadzu Photodetection Detector SPD-M6A, Version 2.14, which arrived a few months back. As this was an update, the older version 2.12 was checked, which is clean. Same contamination was found in the original diskettes of a second station in a different department, which had gotten version 2.14 independently. Company representatives of Shimadzu was notified, he claims that company is not source of virus infection. Collected infected disks and replaced them with clean version. :-) Has anyone else seen this infection of Shimadzu software? Any other gas chromatographic software?
