Peter Johnston posted information about two strains of a new trojan which can damage the Macintosh file system. One strain exists in a program called "Mosaic" and the other in a program called "FontFinder". I'd like to know if anyone else has had experience with these two trojans, and which of the existing commercial and public domain anti-virus tools can detect/prevent them from doing their damage. Since the "FontFinder" trojan has a trigger date of 10 Feb, it's important that we quickly publicize this trojan's effects and countermeasures. Thanks in advance. --- Jim Warthman
