The Independant Newspaper reported on 24'th. that a giveaway disk
distributed with the August issue of PC Today magazine was infected
with a virus called OGRE. Suppliers and publisher were said to be
`concerned' and trying to recall the issue. Sure enough I chanced to
find a copy today. I warned the store. Using scan reveals that the
giveaway is infected with killer virus, (a boot infector).
I find that the June issue gave away scan or something similar so the
publishers probably don't use their own freebies.
Old adage "Beware of Greeks bringing gifts".
