AUBXG@ASUACAD.BITNET (Ben Goren) (01/17/90)
For those of you trying to track WDEF (although I'm sure it's spread
everywhere by now), I just yesterday discovered WDEF A on an SE/30 in
the School of Music at Arizona State University. I successfully removed
it with VirusDetective (after rembering that you can't do this from the
Finder) and immediately prepared a disk with clean copies of the latest
versions (as of 1/15/90) of GateKeeper, GateKeeper Aid, VirusDetective,
and Disinfectant (FTP'd from Info-Mac at Stanford), along with a
TeachText file describing each briefly and urging the usual "lock disks,
backup files, and don't pirate software" philosophy.
I am sure that the student use sites are infected, although I haven't
had a chance to check them personally--I haven't heard or seen anything
on campus about it, so I plan to call the various system administrators
to make sure they know about it.
My thanks and compliments to the three authors. All four programs are
comprehensive, fill their function thoroghly, and are easy to use.
All opinions, etc., are my own.
