We have identified the WDEF virus here in our public complexes here at SUNY-Binghmton. Thanks to Disinfectant 1.4, we are already asking all users to come to our consulting office and have their disks checked. The earliest date of infection that we have noticed in our work tonight is December 11, 1989; indicating that it spread extremely rapidly here, possibly due to a pair of infected printing stations that we found. Over the last eight hours, the number of infected disks found has been dropping rapidly, indicating that we caught it before it got too far. Many, many thanks to comp.virus for the alerts, and to John Norstad for his quick work with Disinfectant! - Ken - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ken Hoover [ consp21@bingvaxu.cc.binghamton.edu | consp21@bingvaxa.BITNET ] Resident computer jock and Mac hacker, SUNY-Binghamton Bio dept.
