                 ** Attention All VCU Students!!!! **
                 ************************************

This message concerns all VCU students and the general public who have
either used the PC's on campus or have software that has been used on
the PC's around the campus!!!!

There has been a serious outbreak of VIRUSES (Yale/Alameda, Stoned-B,
and Jerusalem) on the campus and we are recieving little if any help
from the students!!!  If you have ANY diskettes that have been used on
the PC's on campus, PLEASE bring them into one of the PC Labs on the
second floor of the Business building.  The lab monitors will check
and clean your diskettes for any of the three viruses mentioned
above!!

People at the school rely on the computers to do their school work!
Not having your diskettes checked means that you may reinfect a PC and
cause someone else unneeded grief!!!  Please comply!!  You can even
check and clean your own diskettes and systems with the McAfee
software on this BBS!!!  Business building lab monitors thank you for
your time!!!!!

Tom Huffman!
