A computer-virus monitoring center has been established in Beijing by the
Ministry of Public Security. The center confirmed in mid-April that a virus
dubbed Jerusalem had seriously affected a large number of computers. According
to the Science and Technology Daily in Beijing, hundreds of computers in China
have been infected by one or more of six viruses: Jerusalem, Vienna, Brain,
648, Hemp and Yankee-Doodle. The viruses have damaged programs and deleted
stored information.
